Barcode Plugin for Adobe Acrobat Professional CS 3

Our new barcode plug-in for Adobe Acrobat Professional CS 3 will create all common linear codes. This barcode plug-in is extremely easy to use, even if you are not a barcode expert and have never created barcodes before. The feature set of the plug-in has been taylored to match the needs of document barcoding. Dynamic data, e.g. the current page number, can be mixed freely with static text or variable fields like the current date. The resulting barcodes can be moved freely on the document canvas. Barcodes can be applied to all pages of a document or to a range of pages, e.g. to all even pages.

After installing the plugin into the Acrobat Professional Plug-Ins folder the plug-in is accessible via the "Advanced Editing" tool bar. To create a barcode, select the tool and click-drag an empty frame in the respective PDF document.

The barcode stamp dialog comes up:



Simply select the code type, enter your data or have it generated automatically from predefined text blocks, select the range of pages that are to be stamped and you are done. The plug-in takes care of check digit calculation and will make sure that only standards compliant barcodes are created.

Text blocks can be concatenated and be mixed freely with user entered static text. In the sample below, the barcode encodes the current page number, followed by a forward slash and the total number of pages in the document. The resulting code changes with each page, encoding "1/10", "2/10" etc. up to "10/10".

The created barcode is an ordinary PDF annotation that can be dragged around freely with the mouse:



All common barcode symbologies are supported, see sidebar. The plug-in also creates the new ISBN 13 barcodes as well as the new Code 128 GS1 / EAN / UCC symbology.
