Hi,
you can use the PDF Tools (available at the App Market).
Use the 'Create PDF' smart service to create PDF-document containing the bar code and then the 'Merge' service to merge the two PDF-documents together.
We have done this in similar case and it worked.
Hi juergeng393,
Will we be able to create pdf using the bar code generated in the same process model ? Please let me know the approach. How will create pdf smart service take generated bar code and append it ? Please let me know.
What should exactly go in contents field in create pdf if the bar code image generated is pv!barCodeImage. please let me know :) Thanks in advance
Of course you can have this happening in one process model with a couple of nodes.
First Node: Create PDF with the bar code image using the CreatePDF smart service.You might specify a rule fetching the bar code image its storage location. e.g. =rule!getBarcodeImage.
Second Node: MergePDF - you merge the bar code pdf with any other existing pdf on the Appian PlatformInput here are Documents: two process variables containing the pdfs you like to merge. And don't forget to specify under output the 'New Document Created'
Hope that helps.
Okay i get the way now. I am trying to do it. But can you please let me know what should go in Contents field in create pdf Smart Service ? I am not sure if am giving right input in "Contents" input field.
Thank you very much juergeng393
In the content field of the PDF create node you put in the =rule!getBarcodeImage. This rule should fetch your image from the document location in Appian.
Hi juergeng393 ,
Actually the image is tha bar code that i have to fetch is created in the same process model using generate bar code smart service. so in contents i have mentioned it as a!documentimage( pv!createdBarImage).
So this doesn't seem to be working. Can you please guide me ?
