Hi All, For previous versions of Illustrator we have used a Barcode Plugin called Enfocus Instant Barcode (used to be originally owned by Ying4Yang) This software while it said it could be used on versions of Illustrator up to CS4, I have in the past got it to work on CS5. Unfortunately now Enfocus no longer seem to supply or support this product and hence a recent activation on a new build has the following issue: When I open up Illustrator the Instant Barcode plugin window pops up and asks to activate as it says my trial period has expired.

Jul 02, 2013  I am looking for a 2D datamatrix barcode generator as a plug-in for illustrator CS6. Reply to: What are all the Illustrator Plug-ins to. The Illustrator Plug-ins to create 2D barcode? Jan 05, 2016  There probably is, and of course the standard course of action would be to type 'barcode plugin for Illustrator CS6' into your favorite search engine, and then wade through the options in hope of finding something that fits your needs. I'm no expert, but in my experience most barcode-generating utilities, be they stand-alone, plugins, or online, output a raster image of the barcode.

I type in the correct details and it activates fine and I can continue using the product. However on closing and re-opening Illustrator it reverts back to saying that the plugin is expired and so I need to re-enter activation details to be able to use the software. Question is 1. Can this be fixed - (Enfocus do not respond to emails regarding this software anymore) 2. Is there another bit of software that acts the same Please note I am looking for a plugin that operates within Illustrator, not a separate program to open and use (I have found many of those) Thanks Anthony. I use an application, not a plug in called Easy Barcode Creator. Just wanted to mention it although you indicate you don't want a separate program.

I have been using EBC since 2004 and can recommend it. It saves the barcodes as Illustrator files into a temporary folder and the text/numbers are live. So it easy to copy/paste and also when one has to make many codes in a row the procedure is fast and easy. However, the most promising barcode plug-in to my opinion is It is expensive but is dynamic, that is, you can alter it and fine tune it after you make the code.

Since only you have your specification on the barcode, only you can research or search for an integrated or plugin for CS6. My reply is only a story about how my friend came away worse for wear. They found out they were not being asked to get the barcode working but all of them.

That drove the price up from what it was to about 100 times more. The client obviously was upset over the change in the contract and it never moved forward. Maybe this can be done for less but look at what it does.

Maybe a lot more than what you need.
