Picture barcodes in CR XI
Picture barcodes may be embedded into reports created with Crystal Reports XI or later. Picture barcodes may be Windows metafile (wmf) images or Portable Network Graphic (png) images. If the report is always viewed on Windows, or using Microsoft’s Internet Explorer then wmf images are recommended as these are vector graphics. If the report is to be viewed on non-windows machines or with web browsers other than Internet Explorer then png graphics should be used (because other systems and browsers do not support wmf images).
Details on selecting the image type are in the Reference section.
