Hi, 

 

Are you using text that is formatted into a barcode with the use of a font? If so make sure that the font you are using is installed on the location of your crystal web services and potentially any print servers you are using. 

 

Thanks,

RobertW Thank for you answer

 

Yes. I confirm and maybe here is a problem. IFS using Code 39 Arial 11 but in Crystal Reports I have only: 

 

What I have to do? How add fonts to Crystal Reports? Where I find Code 39 Arial 11?

The standard Code 39 should be fine for what you need, but as my guess is you are going from Report Designer to Crystal reports? Then most likely you will need to install the Code 39 font that is currently within your crystal reports, onto the server that you are hosting the Crystal Web Service.

One thing I came across was that if the report is a Crystal Report then we had to install the barcode font onto the user’s pc (for all users that would use the report).  Whereas, if an IFS Report Designer report then all that was required was to install the Barcode font onto the server hosting the Crystal Web Service.
