The Fly-Out menu of the Cacidi BarCodes panel

The Fly-Out menu, is located in the top/right place in the panel, and often described as the Burger Icon. Here you will find a lot of extra settings for your bar codes.



The About menu point

This item in the menu point, gives you information about the current version you are using..

Export as EPS File/Files

Here you can export multiple bar codes as EPS files, for use in other programs. It's very easy to use. First you will need to select an export folder in the BarCodes Settings, when that is done, you can export the bar codes, by either select some bar codes in the document - those selected will be exported , or if no bar codes is selected all bar codes in the documentet will be exported as eps files..



Convert BarCodes as Objects

There is a number of good reasons why you want to create InDesign objects of your bar codes, it could be that you what to share you document with someone that does not have access to Cacidi BarCodes, it could be that you what to creative play with the elements of the bar codes, your choice!

When you creates objects, the original bar code/codes is copied to a new layer, named Cacidi BarCodes, and if you later on need to change the bar code, you can easily access it for midification.

Just like when exporting bar codes, if you select bar codes, just the selected bar codes will be converted, if nothing in the document is selected, every bar codes in the document will be converted to objects.

Here you can setup everything about the bar codes, fonts, add-ons, export folder and so, please see the BarCodes Settings section.

    1. Hi, you will need both the Cacidi Extreme CC (the light version is OK) and the BarCodes CC..

      First you will have a text file (tab separated or csv) with the number for the barcodes, then you must create a snippet with the positionen, size of the barcodes, a merge marker must be applied to the barcode, and saved as a snippet, setup a grid on the page and then you are able to create 9.999 page per run in InDesign..

      Read our tutorial about creating loads of barcodes here

      It may seems as a lot of work, but it will only take 1 minute to do..

      If you have the data file, and a InDesign document where the position is shown, I can help you out setting it up for you

      Best Regards, Richard
