hello in this general insurance
and you will see for yourself just how
quick and easy it is to design a
professional template like this using
bartender
a template is the general term we use
for the design of the label card tag or
any other item you can print with
bartender
as we begin notice how template design
with bartender is based on simple
obvious mouse motions
to add our first text object
let's click on the text button in the
toolbar and select a text object that
fits our needs
most template of
out with sample data like this so that
you can see what your printed document
might look like as quickly as possible
simply click on the selected text to
enter edit mode and type in your desired
data
followed by the enter key
to change the text size you can type of
value into the toolbar at the top of the
screen or simply drag one of the
selected objects handles
bartender supports it
credible variety of fonts including all
windows open type and true type
adobe fonts and most printer based fonts
all newly created objects start out
selected so you can easily make changes
- D select click in any blank location
on the template
before we continue let's take a closer
look at some of the most essential
functions of the bartender screen
every single bartender function is
accessible through these pull-down menus
in addition for efficiency the most
important and frequently used functions
are immediately available using the
toolbar buttons
a toolbox consists of the components and
data sources property pains which
organize your available data sources and
a variety of pre-designed components
into convenient list
a single click lets you select different
components and data sources
notice how you can quickly resize the
different parts of the bartender screen
to meet your design philosophy and
priorities
let's help organize our design by
drawing in some dividing lines for the
template
to make changes to multiple objects
hold down the ctrl key while clicking on
each object to select them
let's use the line and shape tool bar to
adjust the line thickness to meet our
needs
whether it is easier to
signs early or late in the design
process depends both on personal
preference and your template design
now let's make a barcode bartender come
with more than 400 ready to use barcode
components including support for more
than 50 barcode symbologies and a dozen
international bar code standards
because some bar code standards mandate
a particular bar code size and specific
textiles
we include ready to use versions of many
of these combinations here in the Select
barcode dialogue
so you don't have to design them from
scratch
let's
the gs-11 28 barcode
as with text newly created Barker
was initially contains only sample data
double click on the bar code to edit its
data and make other changes
as we select the data sources pain and
replace the data to be displayed in the
barcode notice that the bartender
properties dialog no longer requires you
to click OK before you see your changes
in the template design area
now let's change the typeface and size
of the font used for the barcodes text
where the template we are building the
position of the human readable
characters for this bar code must be
changed
let's resize the bar code to better fit
the template
next let's add a graphic
company logo
ability graphics can be linked from an
external graphic file or database
however for now let's simply embed a
graphic inside the template
select insert from file to begin the
graphic import
Barton
supports and
double variety of graphic types
once you select your graphic press the
Open button and click in the template
where you would like the graphic place
now let's add another
your recently used barcodes are
displayed in the drop-down menu so they
can be quickly select it again
however because we want to create a
different bar code this time select the
more barcodes option
you can place a two-dimensional barcode
such as data matrix just as easily as a
one-dimensional barcode
yeah
since we want to change
more than just the default embedded data
let's double-click to bring up the
barcode properties dialog
different
options are available to be customized
for each type of our code bar code with
can be changed directly with the mouse
or by modifying the appropriate dialogue
property
some two-dimensional barcodes only allow
you to change the height indirectly by
altering the X dimension or the quantity
of data
in this case because of the very small
screen area used in this video
the bartender properties dialog prevents
you from seeing the change in the
template design area until you click on
the close button
remember however when you run bartender
in a larger window
it is easy to see your template objects
update as soon as you change their
properties
now let's add some more text
when you like the way an object looks
you can save some time by copying it
instead of creating a new one from
scratch
in addition to using the windows copy
and paste functions you can copy in one
motion by pressing the ctrl key and
simply dragging off a copy of the
existing object
since we
need to change the font style or size
simply type the desired text
let's say
the font base graphic in contrast to the
external file based graphic we imported
earlier
you add a simple graphic create a simple
font text object from the text tool bar
button
menu to select the file you would like
to use characters from
the
double click
symbol to add it to your document
yeah
yeah
and finally moving resize the symbol fun
character to fit your needs
in addition to
boarding graphics already stored on your
computer and in databases bartender also
has built-in access to a large online
resource of royalty free clipart
simply select insert from clip art
collection from the picture toolbar
button to display the clip art browser
type a word or phrase describing the
image you are looking for into the blank
field followed by the enter key
- import
one of the graphics into your template
simply double click on it
yeah
then click in the template where you
would like to place the image and resize
it if necessary to fit your needs
bartender lets you quickly and easily
select and create complex shapes
select the shape icon on the toolbar to
display a list of available shapes
choose your desired shape
then click on the template where you
would like to place the shape
to add a filter your shape double-click
to bring up the shape properties dialog
most bartender objects can have their
borders and interiors change to any
color you want
you can even specify a gradient
in a real world application you would
now use the data source setup wizard to
select and configure a connection to
your database
then you would use the data source pane
of the toolbox to connect your template
objects to the desired database fields
