Try this. Will generate a PDF from string or table. Is just a basic demo that shows what you asked (ie. PDF from table) to give you a rough idea. But plugin is capable of much more - so play around with it and investigate to see what you can come up with.

Nb. (You'll need to install the PDFOut plugin - attached).

thank you all, i use the first solution its work great.
an other question ! can we use QR CODE or BAR CODE
i mean genrat and read code without needed for internet connexion ?

...can we use QR CODE or BAR CODE

Actually, YES you can. And I'm glad you brought this up. I think barcodes are fascinating. There's actually been quite a bit of work done on this already, but I'd like to delve back into this topic myself. I'll get back to you on this one when I have some more time to poke around in the stuff that others have done already. There's a bunch of old threads dealing with this which I'll gather up and redirect you to, once I've had a chance to sift through them all

But let's differentiate your question first - because 'Bar Code' and 'QR Code' need to be treated as 2 different topics.

First in regards to Bar Codes: If we're talking about a simple handheld scanner that can be plugged in via USB or PS2, then data from the scanner will be returned directly to any AMS input object that has focus. And there's existing code for this already archived in the old subforums. By memory, I think Worm actually did some work on this topic, too.

Second, in regards to QR Codes: As I recall, someone did actually develop a plugin a few years back which was supposed to be able to generate a number of different QR code types. But it used the Google API, I think??? (so for that one, an internet connection would be needed). I think there was also an issue with the way the plugin was compiled (mis-compiled) or something along those lines??? Not sure - or even whether the issue was ever resolved. Regardless, I'd have to go back and look at in detail again.

When I get some free time, I'll gather up what I can find and synthesize my findings. Maybe even start a new thread on it. Like I said, I have a personal interest in this topic myself - so would like to see a new thread which takes into account all the previous work done by past members. Most of those old threads had some great stuff posted by some very clever people.

i'v been trying to do some things in that topics. so i find a free font for EAN13,i dont know if its do that correctly but when i set A, its generat numbre 1 as barecode, ABCD it mean 1234. i generat some, but i havn't the reader to test it.
i need only some very simple barecode, for exemple 1234 ,9999...ect

[BioHazard]

I don't have a barcode reader here at the moment either. But if u upload the .apz project file (or at least the code) that's giving u trouble, I'll take a look at it.

Just an update to this thread:

Here's another example of how to generate a report with AMS. This one uses the LuaCOM plugin and an old DLL (CatchysoftReportPro.DLL) which Dermot first demonstrated back in 2006. It's pretty damm cool.



This is a preview of the kind of report it can generate - but much more complex formatting outputs are possible. Formatting is manipulated via the Summary.xml file in the Docs folder - so if you're handy with XML, the sky's the limit. Print to PDF or straight to your printer:



I really like this one. (So there it is, if anyone's interested).

[BioHazard]

Edit,

Ooh - probably should've mentioned the CatchysoftReportPro.DLL is a commercial DLL. And as such is limited to printing 3 pages at a whack.

There used to be a freeware version of the DLL available on http://www.catchysoft.com but the website's gone way of the DoDo bird. Sorry about that. (Still, some find it useful, yeah?)

thank you @BioHazard but arabic character doesn't showing correctly, i think fonts are not supported for arabic/parsian character,
can we use fonts from computer directly.

[BioHazard]

To be honest, I really don't know. There's been quite a few threads asking about issues regarding the use of 'foreign' fonts in recent months - with especially Arabic. I've looked into it but find the whole issue very confusing. Ulrich's the resident expert on non-standard fonts so he'd be the person to ask. Sorry, can't help you with this one..

PLZ how we can import our privat fonts;
and how we can resize our page, from A4 fromat to an other personalized size
