Barcode add on for the printer drivers
Coming Soon!
In addition to providing barcode functionality for
developers who utilize imaging toolkits, Black Ice
will also provide an optional barcode add-on for the
Black Ice printer drivers. The forthcoming printer
driver barcode add-on will allow Black Ice printer
driver customers to automatically add barcodes to
any Black Ice printer driver printjob. Developers
will be able to programmatically control the barcode
type, the information encoded within the barcode,
and the position on the page. Developers will also
have the option to add barcodes to every page of the
document, or just the first page. As with all of the
Black Ice printer driver features, developers can
programmatically specify settings, allow users to
specify settings, or developers can hide the barcode
tab completely.
The Black Ice Barcode add on for
printer drivers currently supports the following linear
barcode formats:
The Barcode add on for the Black Ice printer
drivers will include both DLLs and ActiveX controls,
allowing developers to utilize the features with a
wide range of programming languages including C/C++,
VB, C#, J#, VB .NET, Delphi and more!
New Voice Annotations -
Annotation SDK
A powerful new feature has been
added to the Annotation SDK/ActiveX: Voice
annotation! You can create an annotation object that
will play sound file (wave) when the user clicks on
it. This feature will make the user experience of
your products even better than before. Possible uses
include interactive help files, application user
interfaces and more.
Adding a voice annotation to an image is easy,
simply add the Voice object, just like any other
annotation object, and specify the sound file to be
used. The Voice Annotation objects are a new feature
available in version 10.11 and higher of the
Annotation SDK/ActiveX and Document Imaging
SDK/ActiveX. Be sure to download the latest
evaluation version from the Black Ice web site and
try the new Voice Annotations for yourself!

The new file formats include:
