# Barcode Printer for Django
This is a reusable Django application which generates PDF barcodes in various formats with a human and machine (OCR-A) readable textual label.
These barcodes are rendered as a PDF with embedded JavaScript which prompts the PDF to be immediately printed.
Currently this is used by [Adlibre DMS](http://www.adlibre.com.au/adlibre-dms/) for document barcode generation, but this application is generic and can be reused in any Django app that requires barcode printing.
[ReportLab](http://www.reportlab.com) is used for the barcode generation. And the following formats are supported:
Code39 (3 of 9),
Code128.
However it would be trivial to add support for any format that ReportLab supports.
## Example
Barcode automatically printing from URL:
## Installation
If you use pip then the dependencies and requirements will be taken care of:
Prod:
pip install git+git://github.com/adlibre/django-bcp.git
Dev:
pip install -e git+git@github.com:adlibre/django-bcp.git#egg=bcp
## N.B. ReportLab Bug
ReportLab 2.5/2.6 has a typo. “OpenActions” should be “OpenAction” as per ISO 32000-1:2008.
<pre> diff -r broken/lib/python2.7/site-packages/reportlab/pdfbase/pdfdoc.py fixed/lib/python2.7/site-packages/reportlab/pdfbase/pdfdoc.py 1022c1022 < Dests Outlines Pages Threads AcroForm Names OpenActions PageMode URI — > Dests Outlines Pages Threads AcroForm Names OpenAction PageMode URI </pre>
You will need to manually patch this, otherwise the barcode will not automatically print:
sed -i -e ‘s@OpenActions@OpenAction@g’ lib/python*/site-packages/reportlab/pdfbase/pdfdoc.py
