Hope you are well...

I want to generate some despatch documents which will include code 128 barcodes and perhaps even EAN 128.

I can do the code 3of9 as is laid out in the documentation for the wonderful pdfinclude

Just wondering if anyone can recommend a way forward to do this.
The solution must be 100% programmatic I don't mind using a font in AFM format or a printer font, but the solution needs to be emailed and printed

Thanks in advance ryan
 
You will need both .ttf and .afm font files for these.

I would suggest reading Appendix B in the PDFInclude Pro Documentation.doc to see what you need to download and steps to perform, as it pretty much describes the "how to" find/create those files. Or you can find a source and just buy them.

After you have the files, then it works the same as the Code39 font in how it is loaded and used.
 
Thanks for that Larry...
But I've already got all this working in code3of9 as I mentioned
ttf, afm etc....

I was asking for recommendations for code 128 fonts to use...
I had a look on the net and a lot of the EAN 128 (I appreciate the difference between code 128 and ean 128) ones seem to have a little interface for generating the barcode. Is there an easy way to introduce the application identifiers in EAN 128
I was hoping to do something similar to using the code3of9 font

At the moment my requirement is for code128 but I will need to use EAN 128 soon

I'm sure this is a common requirement so was looking for inspiration from the community on what people have been using to solve this issue.
