Printing and Scanning BarCodes

Tue, 2011-03-15 12:19 — JonathanStarke

Hi all,

Has anyone been able to print barcodes from PDFInclude, and then more importantly scan them?

I can print code39 and code128 barcodes, but once printed none of them will scan.

I have tried different sizes, rotation etc.

Just will NOT scan.

Any help please.

Thnx
Jonathan Starke

Somewhat resolved

I forgot to add a '*' to the beginning and end of the Code39 barcode, now I can scan.

I wish I could control the height of the barcode independently from the font size, anyone know how to do this?

Thnx
Jonathan

pdf_scale

Hi
There is a new function in pdfinclude (use thre last version) named pdf_scale which allows you to scale by X or Y the text.
Should work in your case. Keep us informed!
