Workflows that use barcoded forms

Form authors create interactive barcoded forms by using Designer. (See Designer Help.) When a user fills a barcoded form by using Adobe Reader or Acrobat, the barcode is updated automatically to encode the form data.

The Barcoded Forms service is useful for converting data that exists on paper to electronic format. For example, when a barcoded form is filled and printed, the printed copy can be scanned and used as input to the Barcoded Forms service.

Watched folder endpoints are typically used to invoke applications that use the Barcoded Forms service. For example, document scanners can save TIFF or PDF images of barcoded forms in a watched folder. The watched folder endpoint passes the images to the service for decoding.
