Hi,

How do you generate the bar code? With a font?
If yes, the font file must be on the Power BI Report Server too.

Do you have a way to install bar code font on server?

I am looking into Printing QR Code instead of Bar code. Do you know that part?

There are another way without using and API, Font or Library:

1) decode the input value in a 0's and 1's string reprenting the value in code39 standar barcode sintax.

2) add a rectangle for each character in this new string. This rectangles must have the same width and need to be side by side.

3) add an expression to change the background color in each rectangle in order with the character in the string (0 = White, 1 = Black)

4) when rendering this provide as a readable and correct barcode in code39 standar.

I already made some implementation and works well.
