Beas: Working with QR-Codes in Crystal Reports – Boyum Helpcenter

If you want to use a QR-Codes in Crystal Report (Version 2016 or later) you can do it in the following way:

1. Working with QR-Codes needs a special font

Take the Aztec font-file bcsqrcode.ttf and copy it directly into folder:

C:\Windows\Fonts

2. Installation of required libraries so that Crystal Report can generate QR codes

(32- and 64-bit Runtime)

Libs:

cruflBcs.dll

cruflBcs_x64.dll

These libraries are to be copied into the following directories:

dll file to c:\Windows\SysWoW64
dll to c:\Windows\System32

c:\Windows\SysWoW64\regsvr32.exe c:\Windows\SysWoW64\cruflBcs.dll

c:\Windows\System32\regsvr32.exe c:\Windows\SysWoW64\cruflBcs.dll

c:\Windows\System32\regsvr32.exe c:\Windows\System32\cruflBcs_x64.dll

Hint:

The Root-directory could have a different name as windows (Check first and then adjust if necessary)

3. Create a Formula with the String with the contents for the QR-Code

(e.g. code_string)

4. Create a Formula for the QR-Code field

(e.g. qr_code)

go to functions
go to “additional functions”
select COM- and .NET-UFLs
take BCSQRCodeEncode

5. Position the QR-Code field and select the QR font

6. Further information on various barcodes

With the addition of the libraries, many more barcode encodings are now available, which can be used in the same way as the QR code description. The corresponding barcode fonts must of course be installed.
