SmartCodeComponent2D lets you add professional quality 2 dimensional bar codes to documents like those from Word and Excel. It is extremely powerful, utilizing the same engine as SmartCodeStudio, the industry leading and award-winning label design / barcode software. SmartCodeComponent2D will work flawlessly with any Windows application that supports OLE (Object Linking and Embedding) Server and ActiveX Controls. This includes most (if not all) Microsoft Office products, WordPad and many third-party softwares. SmartCodeComponent2D exposes a full range of barcode properties and allows precise control over barcode dimensions. Data validation is also carried out over all input to ensure the generated barcode meet industry specifications. Supported symbologies include DATAMATRIX, PDF417, QR and Micro QR.
