IDAutomation font is not displaying on client machine crystal report

[Former Member]

I am using IDAutomation Code128 UFL and i have created barcode in crystal report as per in the following link,

Crystal Reports Barcode Font UFL | Tutorials

Everthing working fine in my local machine. After i deployed into the server i can not able to view barcode in client machine crystal report viewer. It's working after i installed IDAutomation code128 font in client machine. Is there any option to display barcode in crystal report viewer without installing font into the client machine?

Hi Dinakaran,

The ID Automation fonts will need to be installed on the Server machine too.

yes, i installed it on the server machine. But barcode is not visible in crystal report viewer. If i export that report as PDF, barcode is displaying in that PDF.

What 'Viewer' are you using to view these reports?

Is this a .Net app?

What OS are you trying to view the report on?

What browser?

This being "web viewer", what CR SDK are you using? Version of the SDK?

Not sure what product you are using but the IDAutomation UFL also needs to be installed into the Viewers x86 folder.

For CR for VS it's this folder:

C:\Program Files (x86)\SAP BusinessObjects\Crystal Reports for .NET Framework 4.0\Common\SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 4.0\win32_x86

For CR Designer it's this folder:

C:\Program Files (x86)\SAP BusinessObjects\SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 4.0\win32_x86

Have a look on your PC for a similar folder above for the viewer and make sure it's in there also.

I believe the UFL needs to be registered using regsvr32.exe so make sure it's installed under a local PC administrator account.

Run Modules to verify if the UFL is being loaded in all cases.
