I'm in some new waters dealing with barcodes and faxes and
any insight, suggestions and/or recommendations would be greatfully
appreciated. My situation is this:
The customer will be generating a document with a Code 39
barcode - at this point my understanding is, embedding it within a
'Word' document with the Code 39 font. This in turn will be
converted into a PDF and sent to their end user to be completed.
The completed document will be faxed back to the customer and
either kept in a TIF or converted into a PDF format.
What they are asking for is to be able to read the barcode on
the returned faxed document so that they can manage (move) the
document to the proper location as well as do a database entry that
the document was received back (via the barcode).
This is where I'm a bit lost on finding a way to read the
barcode off the faxed document as it's not the original format in
which is was produced.
