How do I use barcodes in PDF format?

This isn't recommended, though we provide it by popular demand. On OS X, Easy Barcode Creator offers the option of creating a PDF file with your barcode. It does this by creating a vector EPS of your barcode, then asking OS X to turn it into a PDF file. The result is simply vector data wrapped in a PDF file, so the PDF part is really just an extra step that is unnecessary (unless you plan to print your barcode directly from Easy Barcode Creator's PDF, which is unlikely).

Instead of doing this, we suggest to simply save a vector EPS file and embed it in your document.
