applescript + barcode 128
Hello,
I need to print a PDF with barcode 128. I would like to automate this procces. Otherwise I need some variable printsoftware that's know code 128and is able to put in the start code B, MR, Code C, 12,35,33,40,STOP
Are there some wiseguys whow know how to print code 128 with applescript? And this on a A4 PDF.???
thanks in advance
Colin

Code 128 is a very high density alphanumeric bar code. The symbol can be as long as necessary to store the encoded data. It is designed to encode all 128 ASCII characters, and will use the least amount of space for data of 6 characters or more of any 1-D symbology.
Each data character encoded in a Code 128 symbol is made up of 11 black or white modules. The stop character, however, is made up of 13 modules. Three bars and three spaces are formed out of these 11 modules. Bar and spaces can vary between 1 and 4 modules wide.
The symbol includes a quiet zone (10 x-dimensions), a start character, the encoded data, a check character, the stop character, and a trailing quiet zone (10 x-dimensions). For optimum hand-scanning with a contact reader, the quiet zone should be at least 0.25 inches.
For labels in an open system, the minimum x-dimension is 7.5 mils. The minimum bar height is 15 percent of the symbol length or 0.25 inches, whichever is greater
