Automated barcodes / QR codes for tracking, shipping and personalization

William Buckingham, president, XChange US


This workshop will demonstrate how to use command line tools to dynamically create and attach traditional and modern barcode topologies to PDF files in Switch workflows. The discussion will also demonstrate the use of command line tools to perform high-speed conversion of PDF pages that contain barcodes to images. These pages can then be scanned with other command line tools to validate the legibility of the barcodes used. The resulting barcode value returned can optionally be used to automatically perform MIS or shipping system updates.
