Post new topic

Hi, I am looking to buy a smart card reader. Where can I get one from? And rough cost?  A generic one which can read Bahrain cpr (with software) and other gcc cards as well.

Thanks

Thanks.  I went through it.  They give the address and contact of the organization who is the authorized distributor.  Typically no one picks the phone or gives complete information.

I ordered one online from Amazon and will try it out with the erevealer software from CIO once it arrived.

Anyone have the Bahrain SmartCard Reader Software 'eRevealer.GCC version 5.2.2.0' or the version which supports Windows 10?

I am not sure about the version but I downloaded the software from CIO website. I have Windows 10 and it works fine with my smart card reader.

CIO website is no more available brother. It is merged with iGA website and the software is not available. Can you please check the version that you are having? It shows on top of the software window when it opens.

XTang

I am travelling.  Will check when back home on the weekend.

_mady

Ok brother.

XTang

My version is 5.2.2.0

_mady

Thanks for the reply. I've managed to get the same version and it is working perfectly now.

XTang

Where did you get it from?  if it's available online, paste a link please.  I don't have the download package - just the installed software on PC.

_mady

Someone provided me the software. There is no online link available.

Update: The software is now available on the bahrain.bh site under identity card services.

Hi All,
I have got a card reader and it works fine I really get the cards reader info but I am wondering if it's possible to import the data to my Adobe Acrobat fillable forms?
I searched the internet until now I didn't get anything that could help.

Any help would be highly appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

What are you looking to do?

I print the card reader data directly to PDF.   You can then open the file in Acrobat Pro and add any and all fields as you want.   But I am not getting the point of why would you want to add fields to a data print which is already filled out?

Thanks for your response.
My aim is that I would like to import the card data to our database directly from the data form entry.

To achieve this I should like to obtain the .xml data file of the last swept card.

So no need to reenter the smart card data, which will gain data integrity and eliminate human errors too.

I appreciate your kind help.

For that, most big companies use their own software - costs more than normal people can afford.  What you can do is to print off the CPR cards in PDF and then use a free converter for PDF to *.xml.   Not automatic I know.  The only other option is to find out what software companies use e.g. UAE exchange and get that.
