Hi,

The Barcode generation for the below format is failing.
• UPC-A
• UPC-A GS1 Code 128 Coupon
• UPC-A GS1 Databar Coupon
• Aurstralia Poste Parcel.

We explored in total 66 Barcode formats, in which the above 4 formats are failing. Please let me know if something can be done to fix the issue.

@jancirani.c,

I reproduced the issue as you mentioned. I found Aspose.BarCode fails to generate barcodes for the following types:
• UPC-A
• UPC-A GS1 Code 128 Coupon
• UPC-A GS1 Databar Coupon
• Aurstralia Poste Parcel.

I got errors, something like:

Wrong format of Coupon input string. See symbology description, please.
Parameter is invalid
Barcode length is incorrect

This shows that the issue might be due to wrong input string format or its length, or else. Anyways, we need to investigate your issue in details.

We have opened the following new ticket(s) in our internal issue tracking system and will deliver their fixes according to the terms mentioned in Free Support Policies.

Issue ID(s): BARCODEJAVA-1640

@jancirani.c,
to reproduce issue we should be aware about certain input data that lead to error. But based on error messages you just enter incorrect code for certain encode type. Please refer to the links mentioned above by @alexander.gavriluk.
