Creating a Barcode Graphic


To create a barcode graphic for importing into another application such as Illustrator do this:

1. Select the barcode type from the main menu at the top of the barcode window "EAN 13" is shown opposite.

2. Enter the barcode number in the "Main Code" box on the window. (If you are entering a barcode type with a check digit you will not be able to enter the last digit)


3. Select "Mac Illustrator 5 eps" or "PC Illustrator eps" depending on your computer platform (Ill 5 eps) from the pull down menu underneath the Add On Box to choose your export file type.

4. Adjust the width and height to your needs.

All the other options are avaiable by clicking on the tabs at the bottom of the window. (ie to remove the > at the end of the code click X then margins)

5. Click the "OK" button and an image of the code will appear as shown to the left.

6. Click the image of the code or the "Export Code" button to save an .eps file of the code. That's it. All done.
