Examples |
|
If you specify the following parameters:
http://localhost/test/pdf417cgi.exe?data=HelloWorld&xdim=2&bcolor=ffff00&fcolor=0000ff
"HelloWorld" will be encoded in the PDF417 barcode, the x-dimension is 2 pixels, the background color is yellow,
the foreground color is blue. See the picture below.
To get information about the PDF417 CGI application (and also the license information), just specify the parameter help:
http://localhost/test/pdf417cgi.exe?help=1
If the web server returns an error for some reason (for example, a CGI Error for a Windows server or an Internal Server Error for Linux),
you may have specified some parameters incorrectly. Try specifying the parameters as shown below and you will get such an error.
http://localhost/test/pdf417cgi.exe?data=HelloWorld&w=1
As you can see, the width of the PDF417 image is set to 1 pixel. Of course, a PDF417 barcode image cannot have this size. To get debugging information,
add the parameter debug and you will see an error message:
http://localhost/test/pdf417cgi.exe?data=HelloWorld&w=1&debug=1
