Font missing when creating Crystal Reports PDF

Question

I have a Crystal Report 8.5 file that I need to export to PDF.

This report contains a field that I need to present as a barcode. For this, I use the TrueType font.

• If I open the generated PDF file on this computer, I will see the barcode.
• But if I open it from another computer on which the font is not installed, I see only numbers.

How can I assure that the code line is visible in the PDF file, even if the font is not installed on the computer?

Answer 1

If you do not want to include a font, you can generate an image and call it via HTTP.

To show the barcode value in the crystal report, you just need to select the font in the text format of the controls. Reports automatically show that if he finds a font, another wise one gives a font error that is missing or does not display the barcode section properly.

Answer 5

If you use a barcode image library, such as 3 of 9 barcode image library for Crystal Reports , you will not need to install a font for each computer.
