LaTeX 2D-PDF (PDF417)

Question

Maybe easy question but i tried searching for answer without any luck. (could be on wrong sites).

If anyone knows how can i make 2DPDF (PDF417) bar codes in LaTeX ?

Answer 1

pst-barcode can do this. Since it requires PSTricks, you need to compile this using xelatex or latex. If you want to use pdflatex, you can add \usepackage{auto-pst-pdf} to the preamble:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{pst-barcode}
\usepackage{auto-pst-pdf}
\begin{document}
\begin{pspicture}(2in,0.3in)
\psbarcode{0123456789}{}{pdf417}
\end{pspicture}
\end{document}

Answer 2

I googled your question and I found two useful posts about barcode generation in LaTex, hope it can be of some help

1. Is there a good LaTeX package for generating barcodes?
