Hello Erik,

Thank you for your response.  I have some follow-up questions.


The instructions in the link below state the following ...

To setup the barcode extension, do the following:

  a.. Add barcode4j.jar and barcode4j-fop-ext.jar to the classpath. 
  b.. Alternatively, you can use the combined JAR: 
barcode4j-fop-ext-complete.jar which combines both Barcode4J and the FOP 
extension. 

Where can I find these jar files?  Where should they be saved on my test PC?

Currently my test PC only has the latest JRE loaded on it.  Is that sufficient 
to follow the classpath instructions?  Or do I need a full installation of Java?

Also, it is not clear to me that the java command listed in the classpath 
instructions actually incorporate the the jar files into the "classpath".  (My 
Java background is somewhat dated.)

Thank you,
                   Rich Filoramo

  I am probably misremembering, but I think the only extensions that are 
supplied automatically with fop are the EXSLT extensions incorporated into 
Xalan, the XSLT processor included in the installation.

  As for your particular question, one available barcode extension is barcode4j:

  Subject: FOP Extensions


  Hello,

    From what I understand there are extensions for FOP to provide 
functionality beyond the standards established by the W3C.

    Are these extensions distributed with the FOP release (I have 0.95)?

    If not, how does one obtain and incorporate these extension?

    I am particularly interested in font extensions that might include barcodes.

  Thank you,
                     Rich Filoramo
