Chartbot works in a unique manner: text data in a text frame Grouped with the Chartbot barcode is automatically converted into a barcode, then hidden.

All in one step. No barcode fonts are used, no image files of barcodes.

Object + Chartbot to bring up Chartbot's dialog box.

Choose the Barcode Type, set any options needed.

Type data in the Data area.

Chartbot produces the barcode in a Picture box.

It also adds a Grouped text box with a copy of the data.

If you're not using variable data (Data Merge), just delete the text box and you're done!

For Data Merge, replace the data in the text box with one or more Data Merge variables.

When you do a merge, Chartbot will generate barcodes from the merged text data, then automatically hide the text box.

To data merge, use Create Merged Document or use Chartbot Merge to PDF (not regular Export to PDF).
