Yes I was planning to use fonts and I am still getting to know PDFBox ( it's my first time thus so many questions ) BUT idea was voted down by team as getting their sizes correct is near impossible, and calc-ing the check-digit and start/stops is worse.
So now looking into the SVG format of barcode4j and or directly printing as while/black rectangles. -----Original Message----- From: Tilman Hausherr [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Tuesday, 10 January 2017 9:29 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Regarding Barcode Font If you want something quick then use the font solution (check the license). Technically, fonts are vector graphics. If you have used PDFBox before to create PDFs, then you can do this in an hour.
