Seam PDF barcode nested in table

[jeanchastain.wjchastain.gmail.com]

What can I do to keep my barcodes from expanding to the width of the p:cell they're in?  I'm using a p:table to divide fields into areas on the page, but no combination of tag attributes on p:table or p:cell or p:barcode seems to keep the barcodes 22.5 points high and however wide they need to be to encode the data.  Here is an example.  Look at the PDF generated and then strip out the table to see what the barcodes are supposed to look like.

To answer my own question, put fixedHeight on the p:cells.  d'oh!

<p:cell borderWidth="0" fixedHeight="25">

This is a good talk for barcode adding on PDF. As in your sample, CODE128 barcode is created on PDF. I just wonder whether any other barcode symbologies are available also? For me, expecially in need of 2-dimensional barcode generation on PDF.

Hi,Norris

I've read your question and I still not sure the upper sample can solve 2d bar code generation in pdf file.

But I found a bar code generation guide in pdf: Generate Barcode and Insert Barcode into PDF file, Barcode to PDF | VeryPDF Knowledge Base
