package com.bethecoder.tutorials.itext;

import java.io.FileNotFoundException;
import java.io.FileOutputStream;
import java.io.UnsupportedEncodingException;

import com.itextpdf.text.Document;
import com.itextpdf.text.DocumentException;
import com.itextpdf.text.PageSize;
import com.itextpdf.text.Paragraph;
import com.itextpdf.text.Rectangle;
import com.itextpdf.text.pdf.BarcodePostnet;
import com.itextpdf.text.pdf.PdfWriter;

public class PostnetTest {

  /**
   @param args
   @throws DocumentException 
   @throws FileNotFoundException 
   @throws UnsupportedEncodingException 
   */
  public static void main(String[] argsthrows FileNotFoundException, 
    DocumentException, UnsupportedEncodingException {
    
    Document document = new Document(new Rectangle(PageSize.A4));
    PdfWriter writer = PdfWriter.getInstance(document, new FileOutputStream("postnet.pdf"));
    document.open();

    //Postnet Barcode
    document.add(new Paragraph("Postnet Barcode"));
        
    BarcodePostnet postnet = new BarcodePostnet();
    postnet.setCode("12474678148");
    
    //Add Barcode to PDF document
    document.add(postnet.createImageWithBarcode(writer.getDirectContent(), null, null));
        document.close();
  }

}
   

It gives the following output,

Postnet Barcode
