generating qrcode using image url in crystal report

[DanielFe]

Hi Experts,

we are trying to generate qrcode using image url (google api) but since last week it didnt work anymore.

we've tried using others api but still couldnt make it work, also we tried using qrcode fonts (free version) but didnt showed proper qrcode. Is there any other alternatives without using qrcode fonts

One alternative is a Crystal Reports User Function Library (UFL) that generated the QR Code as an image rather than as a font.
A dummy image's Graphic Location expression can then replace the image with the dynamically generated QR Code image.  
This is the approach used in my CUT Light UFL, and it removed the dependency on fonts or internet connectivity.

Dear Expert, Where can we find that UFL is it available in crystal report? do we have to install it first or is it already there? Thank You

Please share the Google API name and URL you are using.  Also what version of Crystal Reports (2016, 2020, etc or the version reported in Help | About..

thank you

Perhaps you need an API key from Google.  You may have exceeded the number of times you can generate the QR Code.

Dear Experts, we have tried other API but it still doesn't show up
