.SS Generate a Code 128 Barcode
.PP
One\-dimensional barcodes are often rendered using special fonts that map ASCII characters to sequences of bars that can be read. The examples directory contains such a font (code128.ttf) to create "Code 128" barcodes, with an accompanying bit of example code in code128.c\.
.PP
The first thing you need to do is prepare the barcode string to use with the font. Each barcode begins with a start pattern followed by the characters or digits you want to encode, a weighted sum digit, and a stop pattern. The make_code128 function creates this string:
.nf
static char * // O \- Output string
make_code128(char *dst, // I \- Destination buffer
const char *src, // I \- Source string
size_t dstsize) // I \- Size of destination buffer
{
char *dstptr, // Pointer into destination buffer
*dstend; // End of destination buffer
int sum; // Weighted sum
static const char *code128_chars = // Code 128 characters
" !\\"#$%&'()*+,\-./0123456789:;<=>?"
"@ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ[\\\\]^_"
"`abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz{|}~\\303"
"\\304\\305\\306\\307\\310\\311\\312";
static const char code128_start_code_b = '\\314';
// Start code B
static const char code128_stop = '\\316';
// Stop pattern
// Start a Code B barcode...
dstptr = dst;
dstend = dst + dstsize \- 3;
*dstptr++ = code128_start_code_b;
sum = code128_start_code_b \- 100;
while (*src && dstptr < dstend)
{
if (*src >= ' ' && *src < 0x7f)
{
sum += (dstptr \- dst) * (*src \- ' ');
*dstptr++ = *src;
}
src ++;
}
// Add the weighted sum modulo 103
*dstptr++ = code128_chars[sum % 103];
// Add the stop pattern and return...
*dstptr++ = code128_stop;
*dstptr = '\\0';
return (dst);
}
.fi
.PP
The main function does the rest of the work. The barcode font is imported using the pdfioFileCreateFontObjFromFile function. We pass false for the "unicode" argument since we just want the (default) ASCII encoding:
.nf
barcode_font = pdfioFileCreateFontObjFromFile(pdf, "code128.ttf",
/*unicode*/false);
.fi
.PP
Since barcodes usually have the number or text represented by the barcode printed underneath it, we also need a regular text font, for which we can choose one of the standard 14 PostScript base fonts using the pdfioFIleCreateFontObjFromBase function:
.nf
text_font = pdfioFileCreateFontObjFromBase(pdf, "Helvetica");
.fi
.PP
Once we have these fonts we can measure the barcode and regular text labels using the pdfioContentTextMeasure function to determine how large the PDF page needs to be to hold the barcode and text:
.nf
// Compute sizes of the text...
const char *barcode = argv[1];
char barcode_temp[256];
if (!(barcode[0] & 0x80))
barcode = make_code128(barcode_temp, barcode, sizeof(barcode_temp));
double barcode_height = 36.0;
double barcode_width =
pdfioContentTextMeasure(barcode_font, barcode, barcode_height);
const char *text = argv[2];
double text_height = 0.0;
double text_width = 0.0;
if (text && text_font)
{
text_height = 9.0;
text_width = pdfioContentTextMeasure(text_font, text,

pdfio_rect_t media_box;

Finally, we just need to create a page of the specified size that references the two fonts:
.nf
// Start a page for the barcode...
page_dict = pdfioDictCreate(pdf);
pdfioDictSetRect(page_dict, "MediaBox", &media_box);
pdfioDictSetRect(page_dict, "CropBox", &media_box);
pdfioPageDictAddFont(page_dict, "B128", barcode_font);
if (text_font)
pdfioPageDictAddFont(page_dict, "TEXT", text_font);
page_st = pdfioFileCreatePage(pdf, page_dict);
.fi
.PP
With the barcode font called "B128" and the text font called "TEXT", we can use them to draw two strings:
.nf
// Draw the page...
pdfioContentSetFillColorGray(page_st, 0.0);
pdfioContentSetTextFont(page_st, "B128", barcode_height);
pdfioContentTextBegin(page_st);
pdfioContentTextMoveTo(page_st, 0.5 * (media_box.x2 \- barcode_width),
9.0 + text_height);
pdfioContentTextShow(page_st, /*unicode*/false, barcode);
pdfioContentTextEnd(page_st);
if (text && text_font)
{
pdfioContentSetTextFont(page_st, "TEXT", text_height);
pdfioContentTextBegin(page_st);
pdfioContentTextMoveTo(page_st, 0.5 * (media_box.x2 \- text_width), 9.0);
pdfioContentTextShow(page_st, /*unicode*/false, text);
pdfioContentTextEnd(page_st);
}
pdfioStreamClose(page_st);

.SS Convert Markdown to PDF
.PP
Markdown is a simple plain text format that supports things like headings, links, character styles, tables, and embedded images. The md2pdf.c example code uses the mmd library to convert markdown to a PDF file that can be distributed.
.PP
Note: The md2pdf example is by far the most complex example code included with PDFio and shows how to layout text, add headers and footers, add links, embed images, and format tables.

<h3 class="title" id="generate-a-code-128-barcode">Generate a Code 128 Barcode</h3>
<p>One-dimensional barcodes are often rendered using special fonts that map ASCII characters to sequences of bars that can be read. The <code>examples</code> directory contains such a font (<code>code128.ttf</code>) to create &quot;Code 128&quot; barcodes, with an accompanying bit of example code in <code>code128.c</code>.</p>
<p>The first thing you need to do is prepare the barcode string to use with the font. Each barcode begins with a start pattern followed by the characters or digits you want to encode, a weighted sum digit, and a stop pattern. The <code>make_code128</code> function creates this string:</p>

<p>The <code>main</code> function does the rest of the work. The barcode font is imported using the <a href="#pdfioFileCreateFontObjFromFile"><code>pdfioFileCreateFontObjFromFile</code></a> function. We pass <code>false</code> for the &quot;unicode&quot; argument since we just want the (default) ASCII encoding:</p>
<pre><code class="language-c">barcode_font = pdfioFileCreateFontObjFromFile(pdf, <span class="string">&quot;code128.ttf&quot;</span>,
<span class="comment">/*unicode*/</span><span class="reserved">false</span>);
</code></pre>
<p>Since barcodes usually have the number or text represented by the barcode printed underneath it, we also need a regular text font, for which we can choose one of the standard 14 PostScript base fonts using the <a href="#pdfioFIleCreateFontObjFromBase"><code>pdfioFIleCreateFontObjFromBase</code></a> function:</p>
<pre><code class="language-c">text_font = pdfioFileCreateFontObjFromBase(pdf, <span class="string">&quot;Helvetica&quot;</span>);
</code></pre>
<p>Once we have these fonts we can measure the barcode and regular text labels using the <a href="#pdfioContentTextMeasure"><code>pdfioContentTextMeasure</code></a> function to determine how large the PDF page needs to be to hold the barcode and text:</p>
