Alfresco
When the world is heading towards digitization, a barcode is no longer a new term for the enterprises. Tracking and storing information about goods, from individual items to large stocks of millions of items, barcode has provided ease and relief to the system. Barcode allows you to accurately track large stocks and also look up any single piece of merchandise in a matter of second. There are many other cases where the barcode is applied to the documents. We, at Tridhya Tech, have come up with the solution to add the barcode to the document stored in the Alfresco system.
Here is the technical approach on how to generate a barcode in Alfresco. If you want to explore the QR code, then please visit this link.
1.Java Action
public class BarcodePdfActionExecuter extends ActionExecuterAbstractBase { private static Log logger = LogFactory.getLog(BarcodePdfActionExecuter.class); private ServiceRegistry serviceRegistry; public static final String PARAM_PAGE_NO = "page-no"; public void setServiceRegistry(ServiceRegistry serviceRegistry) { this.serviceRegistry = serviceRegistry; } @Override protected void addParameterDefinitions(List paramList) { for (String s : new String[] {PARAM_PAGE_NO}) { paramList.add(new ParameterDefinitionImpl(s, DataTypeDefinition.TEXT, true, getParamDisplayLabel(s))); } } @Override protected void executeImpl(Action action, NodeRef actionedUponNodeRef) { logger.debug("Page No " + action.getParameterValue(PARAM_PAGE_NO)); String barcodeString = "abcd0001"; ContentWriter writer = serviceRegistry.getContentService().getWriter(actionedUponNodeRef, ContentModel.PROP_CONTENT, true); ContentReader reader = serviceRegistry.getContentService().getReader(actionedUponNodeRef, ContentModel.PROP_CONTENT); int pageNo = Integer.parseInt((String) action.getParameterValue(PARAM_PAGE_NO)); try { PdfReader pdfReader = new PdfReader(inputStream); PdfStamper stamper = new PdfStamper(pdfReader, outputStream); PdfContentByte over = stamper.getOverContent(1); Barcode128 barcode128 = new Barcode128(); barcode128.setCode(barcodeString); barcode128.setCodeType(Barcode.CODE128); Image code128Image = barcode128.createImageWithBarcode(over, null, null); code128Image.setAbsolutePosition(10,10); over.addImage(code128Image); stamper.close(); pdfReader.close(); } catch (ContentIOException e) { e.printStackTrace(); } catch (IOException e) { e.printStackTrace(); } catch (DocumentException e) { e.printStackTrace(); } } }
