Thereforeā„¢ Help

Thereforeā„¢ is only able to modify existing barcodes if they are using a Custom Document Property as a value. How to create those and assign index data to it, is described in the previous tutorial.

 

1. To create a modifiable QR Code in a Word template, press Ctrl + F9 and type ā€œDisplayBarcodeā€ with a space at the end:

sd_t_workflow_documentcreation11

2. Leave the text cursor at that position and click on Insert - Quick Parts - Field.

sd_t_workflow_documentcreation12

3. The ā€œFieldā€ window will be displayed that allows you to choose a field.

sd_t_workflow_documentcreation13

3. Chose the Custom Document Property you previously created. It can be found in the list under ā€œDocPropertyā€. Next, click on OK.

4. Type ā€œ QRā€ to specify that the barcode should be displayed as a QR code. Please refer to the relevant Microsoft documentation for additional barcode types and formatting options.

5. Please note that ā€œtestā€ is not hard coded here. It is the Custom Document Property.

 

With ā€œToggle Field Codesā€, you can chose between textual and graphic representation.

 

Textual representation:

sd_t_workflow_documentcreation15

Graphic representation:

sd_t_workflow_documentcreation16

This QR code will display the value of the specified Custom Document Property. It will be automatically updated when converting the Word document with Thereforeā„¢. Please note that Word will not show the updated value automatically.

 

Manually select Update Field to show the updated value if needed:

 

sd_t_workflow_documentcreation17

 

Please note that GroupDocs Viewing has to be enabled to see QR codes in the Thereforeā„¢ Viewer. The QR codes will not be visible with Stellent.
