VellumPdf.Barcodes

NuGet CI

The barcode add-on for VellumPdf, a dependency-free PDF library for .NET 10. Eleven symbologies rendered as vector rectangles (never a raster image), so they stay crisp at any zoom and print resolution.

  • QR (including Micro QR M1–M4 and GS1-mode QR with GS1 Digital Link), PDF417, Code 128 (plain and GS1-128), Code 39 (including Full ASCII), EAN-13/EAN-8/UPC-A/UPC-E with EAN-2/EAN-5 add-ons, ITF-14, Data Matrix (including GS1 Data Matrix), and Aztec Code.
  • QR chooses version, data mask, and error-correction level automatically, and supports an Auto / Latin-1 / UTF-8 / UTF-8+ECI charset policy; PDF417 compacts text, byte, and numeric content automatically.
  • Two API tiers: a low-level PdfCanvas.DrawBarcode for precise placement, and a Document.Add(Barcode) flow element that handles sizing, pagination, alignment, and tagging.
  • Round-trip decoding is verified in CI for every symbology against zxing-cpp.

Install

dotnet add package VellumPdf.Barcodes

Usage

using VellumPdf.Barcodes;
using VellumPdf.Layout;

using var doc = new Document();

// Flow API: add a barcode like any other document element.
doc.Add(new QrCode("https://example.com") { TargetWidth = 120 });

// Low-level API draws straight onto a PdfCanvas, with human-readable text below the bars:
//   canvas.DrawBarcode(new EanBarcode(EanSymbology.Ean13, "400638133393"), 72, 700, font);

doc.Save("barcodes.pdf");

Roadmap

Milestone Scope
1.11 — Barcodes completeness (this release) Closes the #155 completeness backlog: QR Kanji mode, QR Structured Append, Compact (Truncated) PDF417, Macro PDF417, and Code 128 FNC4 / extended Latin-1.
2.0 — Breaking changes Strong-named assemblies (#53) and an async I/O surface for Save/Sign/loaders (#54); both change assembly identity or the public contract, so they wait for a major version.
2.1 — PDF reader (structural) VellumPdf.Reader grows classic and cross-reference-stream parsing, object streams, and encryption support, with a fixture corpus proving it against real-world files (Epic #100).
2.2 — PDF content extraction Text and image extraction on top of the reader.
3.0 — Read-modify-write A unified round-trip document model that supersedes the write-once PdfDocument, so existing PDFs can be opened, edited, and saved back (Epic #101).
