[iText-questions] Barcode Recognition

[Thibault Falise]

Hi,

This is not a question directly related to iText.
I'm currently using the barcode functionnality of iText to generate some
barcodes and include them in PDFs.

The problem is that I have to develop some application that is able to
read the barcodes in order to sort the documents. As I want the software
to be automatic, the recognition must be done with the application, and
without hardware barcode reader.

I've searched on the web for some libraries providing such
functionnalities, but they all seem to be very expensive.

So here is my big question : Does anybody know an efficient library to
implement barcode recognition in java softwares / servlet ?

Thanks in advance,

Thibault Falise

Hi,
I once used
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=121890&package_id=133324
to read barcode 128 barcodes generated with itext. It worked after
applying this patch:
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1070847&group_id=121890&atid=691720

Might be that cvs contains a fixed version. I used JAI and Java Acrobat
Reader for a simple gui but it needs a lot of memory to provide high
resolutions in the background to get accurate results.

Unfortunatly it is a little mem hog:) You should prepare to spend some
time on it if you want to built on it. However I dont know another free
java solution for barcodescanning or something that can be base for this
if you do not want to do everything yourself.
Best regards,
Carsten
