Questions
How do I generate an EAN-13 barcode in Adobe Illustrator?
Open the Vectode panel (Window ▸ Extensions ▸ Vectode), choose EAN-13, type your 12–13 digit number and click Insert. The barcode is placed on your artboard as editable vector paths, with the correct check digit, quiet zones and OCR-B text.
Which barcodes and 2D codes does Vectode support?
EAN-13, EAN-8, UPC-A, UPC-E, Data Matrix, GS1 DataMatrix and Aztec, plus pharmaceutical codes PPN (IFA) and SÚKL / EU FMD — all as true vector art.
Can I create GS1 DataMatrix codes for pharmaceutical packaging?
Yes. Vectode generates GS1 DataMatrix and dedicated pharma codes (PPN and SÚKL / EU FMD) with correct FNC1 encoding and check digits — ready for serialized medicine packaging.
Does Vectode work on Windows?
The Adobe Illustrator panel runs on both macOS and Windows (Illustrator 2020 or newer). The standalone desktop app is currently macOS only.
Is there a free trial?
No trial, but every purchase is covered by a 14-day money-back guarantee — if Vectode isn't for you, email us within 14 days for a full refund.
Does one license cover both the app and the panel?
Yes. A single license activates the standalone desktop app and the Adobe Illustrator panel.
Are the codes really vector?
Yes — codes are generated as true vector paths, so they stay crisp at any size and are ready for professional print.
What do I need to run it?
The desktop app runs on macOS. The panel needs Adobe Illustrator 2020 or newer (macOS or Windows).
Can I also get just the Illustrator panel?
Yes — the panel is also available on the Adobe Marketplace / Exchange if you only need the plugin.
