Introduction
dLSoft Barcode Tools for Crystal Reports provides the tools needed to include most common 1D barcodes within Crystal Reports XI, either as graphic images or as font-based barcodes. Font-based barcodes may also be included in reports created using earlier versions of Crystal Reports, and barcode graphic images may be included in packages created using the Crystal Reports Designer Component for VB6 included with Crystal Reports 8.5 and 9.
It is important to understand the fundamental difference between the use of the tools with Crystal Reports XI compared with earlier version. Distributing or remote viewing of barcode-containing reports based on versions of Crystal Reports earlier than version XI require that one or more of the barcode tools be available on the machine viewing the report, whereas with version XI barcode images may be embedded in the report and so do not require the presence of one of the barcode tools on the machine opening the report.
