There was no way to scrape the image text out until Cory re-wrote the code to redirect to an image page. The challenge was to have the result returned as just the Base64 image, rather than the page loading with the image embedded in the html/javascript. With some help from my brilliant programmer son Cory Alder, (Developer of CatPaint and numerous other iPhone apps) we were able to get the Javascript working (well mostly he did it) in FileMaker Pro 13, using a Web Viewer and the Base64Decode function. QR Bar Codes can hold more information than a regular bar code and my experience with scanning them using FileMaker Go 13’s built-in bar code scanning is that the speed and recognition accuracy is much better than with a regular bar code scan. Recently I came across a free open source standalone Javascript library by David Shim that generates QR Codes without the need for a connection. A reader requested a technique that allowed users to generate QR Codes even when they were not connected to the Internet. The technique employed Google’s API to generate a QR Code and the Insert from URL command in FileMaker Pro 12 to get the code into a container field. This seems to give each record enough time to create the qr code just in case anyone runs into the same problem…” Ī while back, I wrote a blog and demo using FileMaker Pro to generate QR Codes. In the end he solved this himself: “ The solution I’ve found is to hard code a 1 second pause to populate the container (when producing qr codes in a loop for many records). Update : A reader named Robert Richardson was having issues with blank QR pngs showing up.
