When
rowColumnRatio
is supplied the XFA processor allows the barcode to grow to the number of rows
required to hold the supplied data. If the last row is not filled by the supplied data it is padded out with
padding symbols.
The startChar property
Optional starting control character to prepend to barcode data.
This property is ignored by the XFA processor if the barcode pattern does not allow it.
The textLocation property
Location, if any, of human-readable text. May be one of:
below
Text is placed below the barcode. This is the default.
above
Text is placed above the barcode.
belowEmbedded
Text is partially embedded in the bottom of the barcode. The baseline of the text is aligned with
the bottom of the bars.
aboveEmbedded
Text is partially embedded at the top of the barcode. The top of the text is aligned with the top of
the bars.
none
No text is displayed.
The region available for embedded text, if any, is determined by the barcode format. For most barcode
formats it is a single contiguous region, but for EAN series barcodes it is split up into four separate regions.
The typeface and size are inherited from the enclosing field. The template must specify a typeface and size
for the field that will fit into the provided space without overlapping any bars. The typeface should be
non-proportional. The XFA application centers the text in the provided space.
If the template specifies
belowEmbedded
and there is no embedded text region at the bottom of the
barcode, the XFA processor may interpret the property as
below
. Similarly if the template specifies
aboveEmbedded
and there is no embedded text region at the bottom of the barcode, the XFA processor
may interpret the property as
above
.
The truncate property
Truncates the right edge of the barcode for supported formats. Of the barcodes in the standard types list,
this applies only to PDF417. The XFA processor ignores this property for barcode formats to which it does
not apply.
0
The right-hand synchronization mark must be included. This is the default.
1
The right-hand synchronization mark must be omitted.
