Barcode Software for MacOSX

[jlind]

I need some 128 set C barcode. The BarCode Pro software for the Mac is $360-$420. Are there any creative work arounds to consider, share ware, an alternative software that will work just as well....
Any insight would be appreciated. This will run on OSX.

John;

We are quite satisfied with Barcode Producer from Intelli Innovations - $149. Leopard compatible.
Alternately you could Google search for online creation sites. I've used them in the past....YMMV.

If you want free take a look at Barcode Writer in Pure Postscript (http://www.terryburton.co.uk/barcodewriter/) It's a postscript lib to produce almost any bar code in common use. There is also a list of apps at the end of the page that use the code and make it more accessible to the code-challenged.

You correctly guess that I am very Code-challenged. I appreciate the recommendations, you solved the problem, on to the next problem. Thanks.

You could look at Instant Barcode from Enfocus, it costs 249 Euro and you can get a 30 day demo. If you are familiar with the old Yin 4 Yang barcode toolbox product you'll be at home with this offering from Enfocus as they bought the code form Y4Y.

EDIT: Sorry, forgot to mention it's a plug in for Illustrator. Doh!

try this one Cristallight Software - applications for mac, mac barcode generator, cd/dvd label maker, mac wmf and pdf image converter.

We use Barcode Producer and it works well.

you may have a look at this mac barcode integration tutorial, and here is the code 128 barcode

We have recently switched to having Symbology (Digital Barcode Files, Verification Equipment, Sequential Barcode Labels) provide our barcodes for us. They build in the necessary bar width reduction and provide us with print-ready codes.

If you run Darwin or Fink on your Mac you can get glabels as source code (from glabels.org) and compile it (or maybe someone has already compiled it for Mac?). Perfectly fine program for occasional use.

this is what we have been using since my HD went down and we lost our old barcode pro.

We are using Easy Barcode Creator 3 it is quite affordable and reusable.
