Hello, I am experiencing exactly the same issue as user named balza who commented the bug. I´ve already asked at apache forum but so far i got no answer (link is below). I´ve also attached the simple eclipse project (maven) to reproduce the issue. Is there a solution for it or some workaround? Thank you very much Great Regards Martin Klapec Link to apache issue :http://apache-fop.1065347.n5.nabble.com/Barcode-generation-with-FOP-1-1-td41617.html#a41618 Dropbox link to the projecthttps://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/41716864/barcode%20and%20fop.zip
