Re: [Barcode4j-users] Need to use fop extention for barcode without SVG

[Jeremias M. <de...@je...>]

Sure. Here's the deal again: No support for this from my side. It's an
inofficial ZIP, private modifications, not endorsed by the Apache
Software Foundation. Please note, that the human-readable part is not
available for PDF output. You'll have to paint that yourself somehow, if
you need it. I needed PostScript/EPS barcodes back then. PDF was just a
short experiment.

Here's the URL:

You can use the render-mode="native" attribute on the "barcode" element
to force rendering the barcode in the native format, i.e. without the
slow detour via SVG.

Something related: Shortly after the next release of Apache FOP (in
probably about 2 or 3 weeks) I intend to release a FOP extension for
Barcode4J that is compatible to the new FOP. This will also support
rendering barcodes in native format, even with human-readable part for
PDF.

Have fun.
