BookBarcode 2.039 Supports New ISBN Ranges
June 18, 2021 | BookBarcode | en | fr
Still considered the finest barcode builder for book professionals, the script BookBarcode for InDesign is periodically updated to support new ranges defined by the International ISBN Agency. This allows you to control, not only the validity of the EAN-13 code, but also the proper segmentation of your ISBN…
For ten years, BookBarcode remains your favorite tool for creating, updating, and batch-processing high quality EAN-13 barcodes from within InDesign. No font required, all is internally done based on pure vectors! But BookBarcode also provides a special bonus to those who deal with ISBN (International Standard Book Number): it validates and formats the ISBN digits as specified by the International Agency.
For example, the prefix 979-8
has been recently introduced in the United States for covering new ISBN ranges. When you attach an extra ISBN frame to your barcode, it is important to get the number properly segmented, as illustrated below:
If you find that an ISBN is not split as the publisher indicates, make sure you use the latest version of BookBarcode! (Pro users, go to your “private download link” to update the script whenever needed.)
