Thank you misters,
Drawing static barcodes is very easy, but I really like the dynamic
barcoded forms. I've downloaded some examples which is written in
java, and it says that it uses XML. I've heard that ConTeXt can use
XML but when I've finished reading the example.pdf (it is talking
about XML in ConTeXt, right?), I totally have no idea about it. I love
ConTeXt so much that I wish it can do everything.
By the way, I have another question: how can we make reader-extension
pdfs? I mean we can save, add anotations, etc., using Adobe Reader 7
or above. It is another cool function.
