Barcode properties in the Binding tab

The Binding tab displays several options for binding barcodes. Options that are not specifically related to creating a data connection apply both to data bound to a data source and data saved to a file when the object is not bound to a data source.

Name

Sets the barcode name. See To name and rename objects.

Default Binding

Sets the default data-binding method:

•

Normal

Enables data merging and saving options. Data values are merged and stored implicitly according to Adobe data-merging rules.

•

Global

Associates a single data value with all objects that have the same name (see To define a global field).

•	New Data Connection

Starts the New Data Connection wizard. To define a connection using the wizard, see To create a data connection to an XML schema and XML data file or To create a data connection to an OLE database.

•

None

Disables data binding. Because the object will not capture or display merged data, any information associated with the object is not written as output when the form data is saved/submitted.

  

Import/Export Bindings

Sets an import/export binding for a WSDL data connection. See To create a data connection using a WSDL file.
