The Barcode classes are only for PDF. You'll still need a font for RTF
although for such a simple barcode as 39 you won't need the PdfBarcode
class. Other option is to convert the barcode to an awt image and convert
that image to a PNG to include in the RTF.

Subject: RE: [iText-questions] PdfBarcode class
Hi Paulo,
I switched to Barcode39 to create my barcodes. That was a good idea
because the user no longer has to have CODE39.TTF installed locally to
see a rendered barcode in the PDF.
However, I'm also producing an RTF with the same content as the PDF, but
now the barcode isn't displayed in the resulting RTF.
Is there a way to add the barcode created with Barcode39 to an RTF?
When I run the following code, I get the message that follows the code.
try {
PdfContentByte cb = myPdfWriter.getDirectContent();
Barcode39 bc39 = new Barcode39();
bc39.setCode(bcString);
bc39.setStartStopText(false);
bc39.setFont(null);
bc39.setBarHeight(10);
Image image39 = bc39.createImageWithBarcode(cb, null, null);
Chunk chunk39 = new Chunk(image39, 0, 0);
Paragraph para39 = new Paragraph(chunk39);
para39.setAlignment(Element.ALIGN_CENTER);
pdfDocument.add(para39);
rtfDocument.add(chunk39);
} catch (BadElementException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (DocumentException e1) {
e1.printStackTrace();
}
com.lowagie.text.DocumentException: Only BMP, PNG, WMF and JPEG images
are supported by the RTF Writer

That class was removed because it required external fonts and the other
Barcode classes did a lot more. You can use just the PdfBarcode class if
you
really need it, don't concatenate jars, it may not work in some cases.

Hi,
Was the PdfBarcode class purposely dropped from the newest release? I
was using it, but I needed the new functionality of setting the Viewer
Preference to PrintScalingNone. When I switched to the new JAR
(itext-1.3.3), the PdfBarcode class wasn't found. I tried to replace it
with the Barcode class, but my code wouldn't work.
I've concatenated the two JARs in my classpath, so it works, but is
there a better solution?
Thanks,
Kelly
