Barcode

Displays information about barcode on the PDF file, if any. Viewer reads barcodes in the artwork from left to right and also has the capability to generate Reverse Read Value (right to left). For the Reverse Read Value, the system identifies the barcode which is the direction-reversed version of the original barcode. In the screenshot, the original barcode value (Pharmacode) is 4077. The Reverse Read Value is 3006. The system identifies both barcodes regardless of their placement in the artwork and displays corresponding information. In addition to Pharmacode, Type, Class, Direction, Value, Reverse Read Value, Quality and Confidence, the system displays parameters such as Scan Grade, Magnification etc.
