Finally! Barcode Generator Software for Macintosh Users

by Nate Schubert

Just in time for the new year, the fine development staff at IDAutomation has rolled out the latest, greatest addition to their already expansive selection of barcode generation software such as barcode fonts, ActiveX controls, Java components, stand-alone label printing software and more. Unfortunately, many of these products have not been available to Macintosh users for a number of different reasons related to differences in programming and things the like.  No longer will Mac users suffer in barcode silence as Windows, Unix and Linux users generate barcodes until they are blue screen in the face. Today, we are happy to announce that we now have a variety of Macintosh barcode generator software applications! Following is a short overview of the changes we have made to present products, and the new Macintosh barcode products now available for purchase, demo and download.

Macintosh Barcode Image Generator

IDAutomation's popular Barcode Image Generator is now available for Macintosh Users who want to create barcode images which can then be copied and pasted into Microsoft applications such as Excel, Word, PowerPoint, Expressions, Publisher and others as well as Adobe InDesign, Photoshop, PageMaker and more. This software has an barcode image design interface which can make the process of barcode generation both easy and even a little bit fun! You can purchase the Barcode Image Generator for Macintosh for just $99 for a Single User License with immediate download after successful payment, or download a demo for testing.

Macintosh Barcode Add-In for Microsoft Word and Excel

While the Barcode Add-In for Microsoft Word and Excel has been a great benefit for Windows-based users since it's release in April of 2010, it's usefulness has not been available to Macintosh users. The latest release of this product changes that, and Macintosh-based users who are working with Microsoft Word and Excel 2004 and 2011 can enjoy the convenience and ease-of-use that the Barcode Add-In can bring to any scenario. This special font encoder tool may only be used in conjunction with a purchased IDAutomation barcode font, or one of our many barcode font demo packages.

IDAutomation also provides other Mac-compatible products such as Java barcode components or Universal Barcode Fonts which can be used to generate a variety of barcodes from a single font or component.
