Manage custom barcode settings
You can save, reuse, and share a set of custom settings for barcode parameters, to apply them when you create new
barcode form fields. You can make further adjustments to your custom parameter sets after you define them.
All of these processes begin by opening the barcode form field properties dialog box. To open the properties dialog box,
double-click the barcode field.
Create a new barcode parameters set
1 In the Barcode Field Properties dialog box, click the Options tab, and then click Manage Barcode Parameters.
2 Select the existing parameter set that you want to use as the basis of the new set, and click New.
3 Type a name in the Name box and a description in the Description box.
4 Select options for Symbology, X Dimension, Y/X Ratio, and Error Correction Level, and then click OK.
The newly defined parameter set appears in the list in the Manage Barcode Parameters dialog box, and all the buttons
on the right side of the dialog box become available. The new definition also appears in the Decode Condition menu
in the Options tab of the Barcode Field Properties dialog box.

Redefine form field property defaults
After you change properties for a specific type of form field, you can set those properties as the default set for that type.
For example, you can create a check box, change its properties, and then save the properties as the default values.
1 If necessary, choose Tools > Prepare Form to go to form-editing mode.
2 Right-click the form field for which you have already changed properties, and choose Use Current Properties As
New Defaults.
