reading barcodes within a PDF

Post by abonsey »

I have a supplied multi-page PDF with numerous barcodes per page.
I'm looking at trying to read the PDF and create a report/list of all barcodes found within the file.

Anybody got any tips/scripts/advice to get me started?

Thanks

Ola,

hmm, is this what u want:
https://pypi.python.org/pypi/zbar
ZBar Bar Code Reader is an open source software suite for reading bar codes from various sources, such as video streams, image files and raw intensity sensors. It supports EAN-13/UPC-A, UPC-E, EAN-8, Code 128, Code 39, Interleaved 2 of 5 and QR Code. These are the Python bindings for the library.
haven't used it, but it looks like something u want?

Apago has a solution for locating and decoding barcodes in image and PDF for Switch. The configurator returns the location, type and decoded data from the barcode(s).
