Résumé :
This SAP Note highlights an issue with bar code support when converting SAPscript or SmartForms to PDF or when using certain device types for printing. It states that bar codes are not graphically represented but shown as black/white rectangles with textual annotations. The root cause is a lack of appropriate drivers in SAPscript/SmartForms and the printer drivers. SAP has developed a solution for genuine bar code reproduction in PDFs from SmartForms starting with Release 4.6C. The solution necessitates importing specific Basis Support Packages and kernel patches. Supported bar code symbologies include Code39, Code93, Interleaved 2of5, Code128, and PDF417. Implementation guidance for printer outputs via various printer drivers is also provided.
