Nowadays, Adobe Illustrator is the leading program when it comes to vector editing. In the newest version of this program you can find almost anything to work with vectors, but we bet there are some plug-ins that you still need. We took the time and collected some free plugins we think may help you.
As for the barcodes quality, our barcode generator sends barcodes to Illustrator in EPS format, so you get the same vector quality, as with the plugin. Standalone barcode generator (/barcode/) application is an one-off investment that sorts out your barcode needs regardless of the software you will be using in the future. Adobe® Illustrator® prepress plugins: Dynamic Barcodes: generates dynamic barcodes with assured printability.; Text Recognition: converts outlined text in artwork to editable text.; Packaging Preflight: automatically detects a lot of common errors and lists them in a report inside Illustrator®.; PowerLayout: dedicated step and repeat functionality, combined with PDF import and the ability.
