I have a barcode as an eps file. rnI open it and it looks fine. rnI give it to my worker, who tells me it also looks fine on his end. rnWhen he drops it into the PDF and send it back, it's all scrunched up. rnAny thoughts?

Thanks

The reason for losing the barcode is due to it's resizing the EPS file is based on the properties of the PDF file. Covert the EPS bar code to an image file format (GIF, JPG, PNG, etc.) and then "Add Image" in Acrobat, which should retain the size, but also provide sizing handles that will retain the aspect ratio, i. e. proportionally resize without "scrunching".

Good idea. Convert to an image can solve this. I will try to Solve this by Converting it in JPG and then adding the image in Acrobat. nThanks
