Quick Start: Decoding barcoded form data using the web service API

The following C# code example decodes form data that is located in a PDF form.

using System;

using System.Collections;

using System.ComponentModel;

using System.Data;

using System.IO ; 

namespace ConsoleApplication1

{

	class Class1

	{

		[STAThread]

		static void Main(string[] args)

		{

			try

			{

				//Create a BarcodedFormsServiceService object and set 

				//authentication values

				BarcodedFormsServiceService barcodedFormsClient = new BarcodedFormsServiceService();

				barcodedFormsClient.Credentials = new System.Net.NetworkCredential("administrator", "password");

				//Reference a PDF form

				BLOB inPDFForm = new BLOB();

				string path = "C:\\Adobe\\Loan.pdf";

				FileStream fsPDF = new FileStream(path, FileMode.Open);

				//Get the length of the file stream 

				int lenPDF = (int)fsPDF.Length; 

				byte[] bytePDF=new byte[lenPDF];

				//Populate the byte array with the contents of the FileStream

				fsPDF.Read(bytePDF, 0, lenPDF);

				inPDFForm.binaryData = bytePDF; 

				//Decode form data

				String decodedFormData = barcodedFormsClient.decode(inPDFForm,

					true,

					false,

					false,

					false,

					false,

					false,

					false,

					false,

					CharSet.UTF_8);

				//Convert the data to XDP data

				object[] convertedData = barcodedFormsClient.extractToXML(decodedFormData,

					Delimiter.Tab,

					Delimiter.Tab,

					XMLFormat.XDP);

				//Get data from the first barcode

				BLOB xdpData = (BLOB)convertedData[0]; 

			}

			catch(Exception ee)	

			{

				Console.WriteLine("An unexpected exception was encountered: "+ee.Message + "\n" + ee.StackTrace);

			}

		}

	}

}
