No more trial and error - and you don''t have to be an expert. VBD is the first barcode design tool in the industry that allows ordinary IT developers to design the barcodes and see how they fit into your application. Define the space for the barcode along the margins inside the forms or in some other area on the document - VBD will fill the area with a barcode that meets your specific requirements for data size printing specs and scanning specs. VBD can compress the data in order to minimize the size of the barcode and maximize its readability. No other engine delivers this level of precision. You can freeze your design on a sample image create a second barcode annotate it with text and print the image for testing and demonstration to users. The trial provides 30 days of free access. Once the design is complete VBD generates a configuration string that programs the BFD runtime engines which generate thousands of barcodes per hour to match your specs. All you do is supply the runtime data from your application and decide how and where to place the barcode. You can add or print barcodes to or on: - labels - word documents - PDF documents - web pages (via HTML) Unique features of the BFD suite include: - automatic data compression - automatic dynamic selection of the smallest barcode for 1D applications - space allocation for dynamic data to prevent data collisions at runtime - fax survivable datamatrix codes (which normally do not do well with fax) - truncated PDF417 barcodes that require less space The BFD suite includes the Visual Barcode Designer application and the BFD Runtime Engines for generating barcodes. A web server add-on license is required for web server applications.
