Embedded barcode font in PDF?

[jaimebarth]

Hi! first off. This tool is 1000% easier to use than the omnistudio doc gen. Thank you! I'm trying to create a shipping label with barcodes for my users that don't use ZPL. I have a barcode font in my word doc and that is working and scanning, but i want it to render in the PDF. And I'm also wondering how to get my PDF page size to match my word doc page size? is that possible?

Do you happen to have the font that you use to make the barcodes? And what are the dimensions you are trying to produce?

[jaimebarth]

Yes, i'm using this google font.

And I'm trying to create a 4x6 shipping label. My output in docx vs my output in PDF is attached. I'm not sure if the docx will look correct to you without the font, so i've also included a screenshot.

I have poked and prodded and tried to get this to work with custom fonts, and well that is unfortunately a topdf() limitation in Salesforce.

While not ideal YOU ARE able to generate docx which moved to clientside processing to allow for bigger files and it will keep all of your formatting and fonts.

If you export to docx you can then open then- file and save as pdf and should be CRISP!

Hopefully this helps?

It does help! And i have about 20 other projects to use this tool. Your time and dedication to the documentation is so appreciated.
