This command may not be available!

It is only present if MuPDF was compiled with the ZXing barcode library.

.. code-block:: bash

	mutool barcode -d [options] file1.pdf [pages1] [file2.pdf [pages2] ...]

``[options]``
	Options are as follows:

	``-p`` password
		Use the specified password if the file is encrypted.

	``-o`` output
		The output file name (e.g. "output.txt"). If this option is not
		present, any text from decoded barcodes will be printed to
		standard out.

	``-r`` rotation
		How much to rotate the input pages in degrees (0-360), before trying to decode any barcodes.

``file1`` and ``file2``, etc.
	Input file name. The input can be any of the supported document formats.

``[pages1]`` and ``pages2``, etc.
	Comma separated list of page ranges. The first page is "1", and the last page is "N". The default is "1-N".

Encoding barcodes

mutool barcode -c [options] text

``-o`` output
	The output file name. PNG or PDF format is chosen depending on
	the file extension. If none is given, the default is
	``out.png``.

``-F`` format
	The desired output barcode format:

	- ``aztec``
	- ``codabar``
	- ``code39``
	- ``code93``
	- ``code128``
	- ``databar``
	- ``databarexpanded``
	- ``datamatrix``
	- ``ean8``
	- ``ean13``
	- ``itf``
	- ``maxicode``
	- ``pdf417``
	- ``qrcode``
	- ``upca``
	- ``upce``
	- ``microqrcode``
	- ``rmqrcode``
	- ``dxfilmedge``
	- ``databarlimited``

``-s`` size
	Set size in pixels for the output barcode. If not specified,
	the smallest size that can be decoded is chosen.

``-q``
	Add quiet zones around the barcode. This puts an empty margin
	around created barcodes.

``-t``
	Add human-readable text, when available. Some barcodes, e.g.
	EAN-13, may have the barcode contents printed in human-readable
	text next to the barcode, which is enabled by this flag.

``-e`` level
	Set error correction level (0-8). Some barcodes, e.g. QR-codes,
	support several levels of error correction, which can be
	customized through this option.
