Description

This is a sub-module to PDF::Reuse. It creates barcode "images" to be used in PDF documents. It uses GD::Barcode and its sub-modules: GD::Barcode::Code39, COOP2of5, EAN13 and so on, to calculate the barcode pattern. For Code128 it uses Barcode::Code128.

Normally the barcodes are displayed on a white background and with the characters under the bars. You can rotate the "image", make it smaller or bigger, prolong the bars and change the background. (But then, don't forget to test that your barcode scanner still understands it.)

If you don't change the size of the "image", the bars are approximately 24 pixels high (the guard bars a few pixels longer) and the box/background is 38 pixels high and something like 20 pixels wider than the barcodes. The text under the bars are 10 pixels high.

Install

Upstream changes: 0.11 Wed Jul 29 2026 Bug fixes to the 0.10 "textsize" work and one older defect: - The bars are now raised as the text grows, so a large textsize no longer prints the human readable text over the bottom of the barcode. Previously anything above about 12 point overprinted, which is a scanning failure rather than a cosmetic one. GitHub #8. - The background extension strips are drawn at the height the background box was actually drawn at, rather than one unit short. GitHub #8. - $qrcode is reset between barcodes, so a barcode drawn after a QRcode in the same process no longer renders down the QRcode path. GitHub #6. Output at the default textsize is unchanged. 0.10 Wed Jul 29 2026 …
