Hello,

I need to create bar codes in EAN 128. I need the algorithm and the font that interprets it.
I have been testing with several functions that I have found on the internet and with many fonts of bar code (code 128.ttf) but I can not get any one to put the correct bar code (replacing all the characters by bars) and then be readable by a barcode reader. The start and end characters of the Code 128 coding are not replaced by the font.

I already had a function and a font but it is not embeddable and I can not use it to generate PDF with the NativePDF.

Can someone help me? Thank you very much

We've been using ID Automation Univeral Barcode Font with a Windows DLL to encode the strings. Has worked fine in PDFs as far as I know.

ID Automation Universal Barcode Font

It's not horribly expensive, and the Font files are free to distribute.

You create a text object, or column object, assign it to the proper font, call the DLL function to generate the encoded string, place the string in the field, or set the object text.
