I could not find any information on the mailing list or in the book for Usps Intelligent Mail Barcodes. Does iText support it?

No, unless there's a contribution or someone is willing to sponsor the development.

Hi pickm,
have a look at the barcode4j project since they support USPS. http://barcode4j.sourceforge.net/ Maybe you can integrate that lib into itext or you 1. generate a barcode as an image 2. add that with itext into an pdf Or you use FOP to create your PDFs and then you can use the already existing barcode4j plugin for FOP to generate the barcode directly into your PDF.

Thank you both for the responses. I looked into the Barcode4J library and was able to use it very easily with iText. Pardon the messy calculations, a lot of the values are for tweaking it to my particular mailing.
/** * Create a USPS Intelligent Barcode using Barcode4J and add it to iText document. * @param code barcode value * @param cb overcontent from stamper * @param fieldPositions stamper.getAcroFields().getFieldPositions("...") for the placeholder field in PDF template */ public static void createUspsIntelligentBarcode(String code, PdfContentByte cb, float[] fieldPositions) { if ((code.length() != 20) && (code.length() != 25) && (code.length() != 29) && (code.length() != 31)) { throw new RuntimeException("UspsIntelligentBarcode: code length of " + code.length() + " is invalid."); } //Note: fieldPositions data = [page, llx, lly, urx, ury] float height = (fieldPositions[4]-fieldPositions[2]); float width = (fieldPositions[3]-fieldPositions[1]); PdfTemplate tp = cb.createTemplate(width, height); // Create the graphics and canvas objects that will contain the barcode. Graphics2D g2 = tp.createGraphics(width, height); g2.setRenderingHint(RenderingHints.KEY_FRACTIONALMETRICS, RenderingHints.VALUE_FRACTIONALMETRICS_ON); g2.scale(2.5, 2.835); // (1mm == 2.835 points) + tweaking on x to make bar width correct Java2DCanvasProvider provider = new Java2DCanvasProvider(g2, 0); // Create Barcode4J barcode on canvas USPSIntelligentMailBean barcode = new USPSIntelligentMailBean(); // use 70% of converted values. Measurements on printouts needed to be tweaked. barcode.setAscenderHeight(UnitConv.in2mm(0.1f) * 0.7f); // height of ascender/descender per USPS spec barcode.setTrackHeight(UnitConv.in2mm(0.05f)* 0.7f); // height of track bar per USPS spec (smallest bar of barcode) barcode.setBarHeight(UnitConv.in2mm(0.145f)* 0.7f); barcode.setIntercharGapWidth(UnitConv.in2mm(0.04f)* 0.7f * 1.13f); // adjust again for scaling barcode.generateBarcode(provider, code); g2.dispose(); // adjust x/y to perfect location for envelope window float inch = 72f; // itext manual pg 33 float xCoordinate = fieldPositions[1] - ((1f/8f) * inch); float yCoordinate = fieldPositions[2] - ((3f/32f) * inch); cb.addTemplate(tp, xCoordinate, yCoordinate); }
