number represents the barcode index on the page. If there is more than one barcode on the same
page, these Metadata fields will be defined as many times as there are barcodes on the page, except
that the middle number (..._X_...) will increment according to the barcode index (e.g. Barcode_2_
Value, Barcode_3_Value, etc.).
l
BarcodeValue: Metadata field representing the value of the barcode. When multiple barcodes
are present on the page, this field is present multiple times.
l
BarcodeCount:: Metadata field representing the number of barcodes on the page.
l
Barcode_1_Value: Metadata field representing the value of the first barcode on the page. Note
that this field (Barcode_1_Value) contains the same value as the first occurrence of Bar-
codeValue.
l
BarcodeBase64_1_Value: Metadata field containing the value of the first barcode, encoded in
Base64.
l
Barcode_1_Type: Metadata field containing the type of the first barcode (ex. EAN13, UPCA …).
l
Barcode_1_Orientation: Metadata field containing the orientation of the first barcode.
l
Barcode_1_Top: Metadata field providing the distance (in pixels) from the top of the page to the
top of the first barcode.
l
Barcode_1_Bottom: Metadata field providing the distance (in pixels) from the top of the page to
the bottom of the first barcode.
l
Barcode_1_Left: Metadata field providing the distance (in pixels) from the left of the page to the
left side part of the first barcode.
l
Barcode_1_Right: Metadata field providing the distance (in pixels) from the left of the page to
the right side part of the first barcode.
Accessing a barcode value from the Workflow tool
One method to access a barcode value from the Workflow configuration tool is to use a VBScript with
the Open Script task, using the Watch.ExpandString command with a Metadata command as its input
parameter, in between double quotes. For example, the following script line gives the value of the first
BarcodeValue Metadata field of the first datapage:
watch.expandstring("GetMeta(BarcodeValue[0],0,Job.Group[0].Document[0].Datapage[0])")
Another method is to use a Set Job Infos and Variables task to copy a Metadata field into a Workflow
variable.
