Just to confirm, the test image you are trying to decode includes a barcode that has tab delimited data including headers?

Hi Marcelo, extract to XML is designer to work on tab delimited data that includes field names.

Your decoded output is pipe delimited and excludes any header information. You will need to delimit the data yourself using xPath or build yourself a simple component.

Split the value of "content" into different elements and then populate your XML document. You could also use the XSLT component to do this (Java snippet = dataElements = nodesToDelete.split("|"); )

Hi Marcelo and Lee ...<br /><br />I used Microsoft Visual Studio .Net to invoke ES server barcoded form decoding service with web service API ... you can see the output as below and I found that the first Tag in output as "<?xml version=\"1.0\"?> without "encoding=UTF-8" ... it is the problem ...  why ???   <br /><br />I also have specified CharSet.UTF-8 in barcodedFormsClient.decode function ... <br /><br />Mason Pai 05-29-2008<br /><br />**** output ***** <br />"<?xml version=\"1.0\"?><br /><xb:scanned_image path=\"tif\" version=\"1.0\" <br />xmlns:xb=\"http://decoder.barcodedforms.adobe.com/xmlbeans\"><br /><xb:decode><br /><xb:date>2008-05-27T10:27:59.854+08:00</xb:date><br /><xb:host_name>pscadobelces</xb:host_name><br /><xb:status type=\"success\"><br /><xb:message/><br /></xb:status><br /></xb:decode><br /><xb:barcode id=\"1\"><br /><xb:header symbology=\"pdf417\"><br /><xb:location page_no=\"1\"><br /><xb:coordinates><br /><xb:point x=\"0.21775147\" y=\"0.24512196\"/><br /><xb:point x=\"0.43353057\" y=\"0.24512196\"/><br /><xb:point x=\"0.43353057\" y=\"0.30731708\"/><br /><xb:point x=\"0.21775147\" y=\"0.30731708\"/><br /></xb:coordinates><br /></xb:location><br /></xb:header><br /><xb:body><br /><xb:content encoding=\"utf-8\">Label\tTextField1\tTextField2\t&#xd;f9f3dcc4-2592- 49d0-<br />a6ec-fcabbac11e2a\t&iuml;&iquest;&frac12;&iuml;&iquest;&frac12;&ium l;&iquest;&frac12;&iuml;&iquest;&frac12;&iuml;&iquest;&frac12;&iuml;&i quest;&frac12;&iuml;&iquest;&frac12;&iuml;&iquest;&frac12;&egrave;&#71 0;&ccedil;&#8249;&iexcl;\t&iuml;&iquest;&frac12;&iuml;&iquest;&frac12; &iuml;&iquest;&frac12;&iuml;&iquest;&frac12;&iuml;&iquest;&frac12;&egr ave;&#710;&egrave;&laquo;&eacute;°&iuml;&iquest;&frac12;<br />\t</xb:content><br /></xb:body><br /></xb:barcode><br /></xb:scanned_image>"

Hi Lee : <br /> <br />Many thanks for your kindly reply ... <br /> <br />I am not clearly sure how to check if I have specified the encoding mechanism correctly in form design ... I would like to say in a detail way that I used LC designer to design a PDF form embedded a 2D Barcode and filled in data fields in Adobe reader then print it as a paper form including 2D Barcode ... Faxed this paper form to fax server and put the fax image into a watch folder ( I also created a decode process in workbench ) , I can see the decode output data is OK ( <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8?"?> and all the UTF-8 Chinese code is OK ) but it will be <?xml version="1.0"?> and UTF-8 Chinese code not OK if I used web service API to decode 2D Barcode ... <br />As to this problem , I think it should not be the form design problem ... and possibly is the web service API usages mistake ... <br /> <br />My .Net program source as : <br /> <br />using System; <br />using System.Collections; <br />using System.ComponentModel; <br />using System.Data; <br />using System.IO; <br />using System.Text; <br />using BarcodedForms.barcoded; <br /> <br />namespace BarcodedForms <br />{ <br /> class Decoder <br /> { <br /> public string execute(String path, String user, String password) <br /> { <br /> try <br /> { <br /> //Create a BarcodedFormsServiceService object and set authentication <br />values <br /> BarcodedFormsServiceService barcodedFormsClient = new <br />BarcodedFormsServiceService(); <br /> barcodedFormsClient.Credentials = new System.Net.NetworkCredential <br />(user, password); <br /> //Reference a PDF form <br /> BLOB inPDFForm = new BLOB(); <br /> <br /> FileStream fsPDF = new FileStream(path, FileMode.Open); <br /> //Get the length of the file stream <br /> int lenPDF = (int)fsPDF.Length; <br /> byte[] bytePDF = new byte[lenPDF]; <br /> <br /> //Populate the byte array with the contents of the FileStream <br /> fsPDF.Read(bytePDF, 0, lenPDF); <br /> inPDFForm.binaryData = bytePDF; <br /> <br /> //Decode form data <br /> <br /> XML decodedFormData = barcodedFormsClient.decode(inPDFForm, <br /> true, <br /> false, <br /> false, <br /> false, <br /> false, <br /> false, <br /> false, <br /> false, <br /> CharSet.UTF_8); <br /> if (decodedFormData != null) <br /> { <br /> Console.WriteLine("A:"+decodedFormData.ToString()); <br /> <br /> return decodedFormData.document; <br /> } <br /> else return null;
