Why not a fast, flexible and reliable solution? 3 things are needed: o Java routines to calculate barcode rectangles and label areas depending from barcode type and its parameters. Possibly such routines are freely available. Otherwise: give me the specs, I will write the code (the nowadays popular datamatrix will be harder) and somebody has to run scan tests.
o Java code to render the rectangles: very easy in PDF o Handy XSL:FO Input. My experimental hack below is functionally OK allowing barcode type selection with appropriate parameters. The renderer extensions is quite easy and elegant.
