Hi all,

I'm having a very strange issue - barcode is shown in the Design view, but not in the PDF view?

Using XSLT1, as usual...

Barcodes are not a part of XSLT standard, therefore you need Altova XSLT engine to use them. As usual, reading documentation helps a lot:

Thanks, I am aware of that, it just puzzles me why is it different(inside of the StyleVision application)?

Also, when I switch to XSLT2, barcode is shown?

Was it question? If yes, then the answer is - just try.

I'm not sure we understand each other... :)

Can you please tell me why is the barcode shown in PDF view when using XSLT2, and not when using XSLT1?

As I recall, it used to work in XSLT1 earlier...

I'm tired of answering self-evident questions. If I open BarcodeDemo.sps and try to switch to XSLT1 then StyleVision says

The current design contains the following features that are not supported in XSLT 1.0 mode:

Barcodes

Are you sure you want to switch to XSLT 1.0 mode?

I am sorry for bothering you, but I do not get that error, just an empty PDF file...

Ok, then go to Altova Support and tell them that you do not get this error. But the fact is - StyleVision is obviously supporting BarCodes in XSLT2 only. And if you are using Altova engine anyway, then I simply fail to understand why you spend yours and my time and don't just switch to XSLT2 which comes with huge amount of additional functionality and this for free.
