Hello there,

I am using IText to generate Barcodes. Was wondering what was the best way
(which type of Barcode, fonts, etc.) to get the most amout of data in the
smallest amout of space (width)?

Am using the following code and we are making labels with barcodes- 3
barcodes per row and 10 rows per page. Our values to put in the bar code
could get up to 30 characters. Not sure if that is doable, but would like
to find a way to maximize the amount of information that could fit in a bar
code. Here is the code creating the bar code:

   private Image createBarcode( String value )
   {
       //System.out.println("\nentering Labels3x10.createBarcode value
= " + value + "\n");
       PdfContentByte cb = getPdfWriter().getDirectContent();
       Barcode128 code128 = new Barcode128();
       code128.setCode( value );
       code128.setCodeType( Barcode.CODE128 );
       //code128.setBarHeight( 36 );
       code128.setBarHeight( 24 );        //ktb 05032006
       code128.setSize( 1 );

       Color barColor = new Color( 0, 0, 0 );
       Color txtColor = new Color( 255, 255, 255 );
       return code128.createImageWithBarcode( cb, barColor, txtColor
);
   }
