I have created a Datamatrix barcode in the PP Connect Output Creation Preset. it works great, however, i would like to be able to adjust the size of the barcode as it is quite small and our camera verification equipment may not be able to read it - is there a way to re-size the datamatrix with the Output preset?
Right click on it in Design mode, select “Data Matrix Barcode…” and switch the Scale to “Proportional”
Then, in Preview mode you should be able to freely scale it by dragging the blue outlined box at the bottom right of the object’s blue bounding box.
Thanks ppuserd. The barcode does not show in Design mode as it is created in the Output Creation Preset. It does not get displayed until a proof is created or printed.
Unfortunately your suggestion will not work for our scenario.
in design mode, you should see a grey box. in preview mode you should be able to see and scale the code as described above.
what exactly does not work for you in that scenario?
If your using an Output Creation Setting to add a barcode to your report, the grey box you mention does not display in design mode or preview mode. he grey box is only displayed if you create a barcode if you create it via Data Matrix Barcode.
Ah, okay! But those have all been tested and work as is. What’s the hcf you are using, is it a custom one or one of the configs provided? Did you test it and can your camera not make it out?
Hi chompsey,
Were you able to get this to work? My issue is the exact opposite - the barcode prints too large.
