Yes, I'm an alliterating all-star; I missed my calling as a newspaper headline writer. I have recently received questions from several folks on support for QR codes. You know them they are everywhere you look, even here! How does Publisher handle QR codes then? In theory, exactly the same way we handle any other 2D barcode font. We need the font file, a mapping entry and an encoding class. With those three pieces we can embed QR codes into any output. To test the theory, I...

A great mail from Mike at Browning last week. He has been through the ringer getting his BIP barcoding sorted out but he's now out of the woods. Here's the final result. By way of explanation, an excerpt from Mike's email: This is an example of the GS1_128 carton shipping labels we are now producing with BIP in our web application for our vendors who drop ship products to our dealers. It produces 4 labels per printed page, in PDF format, on peel & stick label paper. Each...

Yesterday we dealt with relatively simple barcode requirements, just apply the barcode to the incoming data ... done. Today we take it to the next level, we need to pre-process the data before we apply the barcode font. Typically you need to calculate checksum characters and perform various manipulations to the data so that once its rendered as a barcode your (or your customers/supplier) hardware can read it.We break this process into two, we need an algorithm component to...

I covered what I thought were the tougher 2D barcodes a while back , we documented the simpler codes (and the 2D's for that matter ... same principle) but I think because we decided to break the doc into two sections, one for the template designer and another for the developer I think we confused things a little and caused a disconnect for most folks. So to make ammends until we revamp the docs. Today, I'll cover the simple stuff ...Simple BarcodesIf you are using something...
