l Select Best fit to scale the image to create the best fit with the width and height of the picture object. The scal-
ing preserves the aspect ratio of the image. This is the most time-consuming of all the Fit setting options since it
requires calculating the image size that yields the best fit with the picture object. Best fit is the default Fit setting.

Barcode Object
With PlanetPress Design, you can add a variety of barcodes to your documents simply by using drag and drop, including 1d
and 2d barcodes. To view a full list of barcodes supported by PlanetPress Design, see Supported Barcodes. Note however that
while we support these barcode types, your own barcode reader may require specific parameters that are different than the
standards provided to us and require tweaking or modifications. For detailed descriptions of each one of the options offered by
specific barcodes, or for background information on barcodes, refer the documentation provided by individual barcode sup-
pliers.
None of the barcodes used in PlanetPress Design supports Double Byte or Arabic characters.
In addition to the common object properties, barcode objects have the following properties:
Barcode Options Tab
l Barcode Type:Select the type of barcode you wish to use.
l Options group(some options may be unavailable for certain barcode types, according to their own specifications):
l Add human readable:Check to have human-readable (alphanumerical)characters appear underneath the barcode
for verification of its value.
l Automatically append checksum:Check to have the checksum automatically calculated and inserted in the bar-
code value.
l Add start/stop character automatically:Check to have start/stop characters added to the barcode value.
l Bar width(in mils.):Changes the bars of the barcode. This is necessary only if the dispersion of ink on your
printer's paper causes the bars to be too slim or too wide.
l Barcode settings:One or two groups may appear underneath the other options in order to offer more control over
the barcode. These options are taken from the barcode's specifications and are explained either in Supported Barcodes
or in the barcode reader's documentation.
Data Tab
l The options here are identical to those of the Data Selection Object.
