Hello,
I have another example of a valid text for Barcode 128:
"‰A)'=_Xwè!-Wè>èè1F0èBÀ~UŠ"
It corresponds to the string 33090729635687000113550030000017381600349594
converted to Barcode 128.
It has checksum and start and stop characters. It is ok in word when I use
Barcode 128 font. But it is incomplete (the start and stop characters don't
appear) in the generated PDF.
This is my source code:
Rectangle pageSize = new Rectangle(780, 525);
Document document = new Document(pageSize);
PdfWriter writer = PdfWriter.GetInstance(document,
File.OpenWrite("Test.pdf"));
document.Open();
PdfContentByte cb = writer.DirectContent;
BaseFont bf =
BaseFont.CreateFont(@"C:\WINDOWS\Fonts\bcode128.ttf", BaseFont.IDENTITY_H,
BaseFont.EMBEDDED);
cb.SetFontAndSize(bf, 50);
cb.BeginText();
cb.ShowTextAligned(Element.ALIGN_CENTER,
"‰A)'=_Xwè!-Wè>èè1F0èBÀ~UŠ", 200, 400, 0f);
cb.EndText();
document.Close();
What do you think that could be the problem?.
Regards,
Claudia.
