Hi,
 
  I got rid of the exceptions, but the follwing block is not rendering the barcode in the PDF file.
  Pls note that Iam using upceanm font given by IDAutomation.com.Does Barcode4J support this font?? .
 
 
 <fo:table-cell padding-left="5px" border="solid black 1 px" border-collapse="collapse" number-columns-spanned="3">
                                            <fo:block>
                                              <fo:instream-foreign-object>
                                                <barcode:barcode xmlns:barcode="http://barcode4j.krysalis.org/ns" msg="1100007">
                                                  <barcode:ean-8>
                                                    <barcode:height>14mm</barcode:height>
                                                    <barcode:font-name>upceanm</barcode:font-name>
                                                    <barcode:font-size>20pt</barcode:font-size>
                                                  </barcode:ean-8>
                                                </barcode:barcode>
                                              </fo:instream-foreign-object>
                                            </fo:block>
                  </fo:table-cell>
Any suggestions are welcome.Thanks

Hi,
 
Thats my bad i could not find it earlier..thanks for the help.
 
I downloaded Barcode4j and followed the instructions as specified in the documentation and tried to generate the font by embedding the code as given below :
 

<fo:table-row height="11px">
                  <fo:table-cell padding-left="5px" border="solid black 1 px" border-  collapse="collapse" number-columns-spanned="3">
                                     <fo:block>
                                              <fo:instream-foreign-object>
                                                <barcode:barcode xmlns:barcode="http://barcode4j.krysalis.org/ns" msg="1100007">
                                                  <barcode:ean8>
                                                    <barcode:height>14mm</barcode:height>
                                                    <barcode:font-name>upceanm</barcode:font-name>
                                                    <barcode:font-size>20pt</barcode:font-size>
                                                  </barcode:ean8>
                                                </barcode:barcode>
                                              </fo:instream-foreign-object>
                                            </fo:block>
 
                  </fo:table-cell>
               </fo:table-row>  
 
 
I am getting the following exceptions :
 
FOP:Unknown formatting object http://barcode4j.krysalis.org/ns^barcode
 
FOP:no handler defined for http://barcode4j.krysalis.org/ns:barcode foreign xml
 
I guess i have missed out something which i am unable to figure out as i am new to XSL and FOP.
 
Any help is appreciated.
 
Thanks

Uhm, you didn't really look hard enough. Searching for "barcode ean8" in
SourceForge's project search delivers Barbecue in 7th position, my
Barcode4J in 10th position and even a few other Java implementations
further down. I recommend Barcode4J (who guessed?) because it integrates
nicely with FOP. There you can specify the bar widths just the way you
want.

Either use Barcode4J or paint the barcode using SVG where you can
squeeze the font all you want.
