When viewing pdf file for print on Split PC screens - the barcode lines are all smooshy and unclear when viewed in 100%. The barcode is generated as a pattern in InDesign and in Acrobat converted to outline. This issue is only a problem found at our PC users and not MAC users in the firm.
Please see attached screenshots:

1.Close-up view of barcode

2.100% view of pdf file

3.Acrobat Reader Preference

You must untick one of these two settings, or may be both.

Hi,

can you confirm the version of your software and describe what you mean by [...generated as a pattern in InDesign...]

I use fonts to create barcodes, so it remains clear and sharp (like text).

Is it generated by a plugin? What might happen is that the barcode is treated like an image and does not display well.

When printed, does it look as needed?

Hello,

I'm having the same problem. Did you ever find the solution.

Thanks!
