Hey I have been unsuccessfull in doing this is the a link I can find the step by step to this? -- Dennis K. Njuguna
Dear All: I am able to use the patron card creator to create a PDF file for the patron card.Really appreciate this wonderful tool function. However, I encounter an issue, just wondering that anyone has the same problem or not? Our patron card design has a background image, which is the same size as the plastic card, (2" height * 3.25" width).If we prefer to locate the barcode at the front of the card, the barcode will be covered by the background image. Just wondering that ----Is there a way that we can bring the barcode to front of the background image?Anyone who has the same experience please share your experience.Really appreciate it!! Sincerely,Jiahui (Sophia)

This happens because the barcode is added to the card before the images. The fix is to have the images added before the barcode. It is a trivial fix, however, finding time to do it in my current schedule is not trivial. If you would like to open a bug for it, please include the link below[1] in the bug report.

Hi, everyone: We were going to print out our patron cards to business card quality of paper by using Patron card creator.And then covered the card by using hot laminating pouches. However, our supervisor want us to print the patron cards at the plastic ID card quality. SO, we are just wondering that ----Will the Koha patron card creator be able to work with any plastic ID card printer?Does anyone has similar experience?We would like to get some advises and suggestions from you. Many many thanks!! Sincerely,Jiahui (Sophia)
Maybe another thinkable solution for the present situation might be to have the "over the barcode" card print image designed to have an empty clear area for the barcode to be seen under the image? Or would it? Just a thought here.. .kary blomster 2012/9/13 Jia-Hui <sophina0516@hotmail.com>

The barcode scaling algorithm is somewhat magic and tends to not scale well (no pun intended). It really needs some close attention. Kind Regards, Chris
