Works as expected, good support - Version: 2.4, 8/17/2006 02:02AM PST

We had a little issue re. the new ISBN 13 but the support was prompt and helped us within a few hours.

Quite happy with the software although the manual assumes that you have at least some knowledge of barcodes.

Barcode For Mac

To export as a bitmap, select one of the supported raster formats, PNG, TIFF or JPG. Note that the JPEG format does not support black and white images, so in this case the codes will always come out as RGB. For best quality we strongly recommend exporting to EPS.

The "light grade shadows" are anti-aliasing artifacts that may show occasionally on the screen (more or less pronounced depending on your settings in System Preferences) but not in print.

No bitmap export - Version: 2.4, 5/18/2006 12:32AM PST

I like the programm but it does not export pcitures as bitmap (black and white only). Furthermore the graphics have light grade shadows next to the barcode lines. This leads to problems when printing and reducing the codes to strict black and white bitmap. Instead of streight lines you get lines with pixels.

Therefore we use Barcode for Mac where Codes are created as fonts. The only thing we do not like with this program is the fact that the numbers appear too big.
