Barcode
In PlanetPress Connect Designer, you can add a variety of barcodes to your template. The
supported Barcode types include 1d barcodes (the striped ones) and 2d barcodes (encoded
horizontally and vertically).
Adding a Barcode
Note
When generating Print output, you can add extra barcodes and OMR marks. The reason why you
would do this, is that at merge time more information is available about the actual output document.
The page count, for example, is not available at design time.
To add barcodes and OMR marks on the fly when generating Print output, select File > Print and
check the option Add additional content (see "Page breakdown" on page961) in the Print
Wizard. To have this done automatically, save this and other output options in an Output Creation
Preset: select File > Print presets > Output Creation Settings (see "Output Creation
Settings" on page943) and send the preset to Workflow.
Before adding a Barcode, load data or at least a Data Model; see "Loading data" on page658.
You will need the field names when adding the Barcode. Then, to add a Barcode to a section,
Master Page or snippet:
1.
Select Insert > Barcode on the menu or click the Barcode toolbar button
2. Choose the desired barcode type. The list is divided between 1d and 2d barcodes.
3.
An ID is required. You can change the given ID and, optionally, add a class.
4.
Check the option Absolute to insert the barcode in an absolute-positioned box inside the
<body> of the HTML, but outside other elements. (This option is not available in Email
sections.) Alternatively, use the Location drop-down to select where to insert the
Barcode.
l
At cursor position inserts it where the cursor is located in the template.
l
Before element inserts it before the HTML element in which the cursor is currently
located. For example if the cursor is within a paragraph, the insertion point will be
before the <p> tag.*
