January 11, 2008 - (Tampa, FL.) IDAutomation.com released the Aztec Font and Encoder. The Aztec bar code font uses Vertical Interleaved Technology which allows printing of high-density Aztec symbols with TrueType, PCL and PostScript fonts.
Two package versions are available, the Windows Package which includes the COM DLL, Crystal Reports UFL and ActiveX Control Graphic Encoders with signed ActiveX CAB file and the Advantage Package includes the Graphic Encoders as well as the .NET DLL, .NET Forms Control and the ASP.NET Web Server Control.Aztec is an area efficient two-dimensional (2D) barcode symbology capable of encoding large amounts of data.
The data encoded may include letters, numbers, text and actual bytes of data, including extended characters, Unicode characters and small photos. IDAutomation recommends limiting the data encoded in each symbol to 800 characters or less if possible because many barcode scanners cannot decode large symbols.
