Bar coding

[Former Member]

I am in a new job which uses Crystal Reports mainly for 'packing slips' in shipments. I heard that they want to do barcoding

and use such data in the reports. Are there any issues in doing this? I heard that you have to get special font

softwares for this. If so, which ones would you reccomend me.
