TeX - LaTeX Asked on April 25, 2021
as in the title, I need a (simple 128) barcode and I need the PDF/A standard. I know how to do both separately. But pdfx won’t run with latex so I cannot create a DVI and so on, which I need for the pst-barcode package:
! pdfTeX error (pdfmapline): not allowed in DVI mode (pdfoutput <= 0). pdfmapline
Is there a way to have a bar code and PDF/A without pst-barcode that works with pdfLatex? Thank you very much!
Edit: using the code in the answer below the following terminal output is produced (truncated a bit):

You can use PSTricks packages with XeLaTeX, which is also supported by pdfx
. According to the documentation of pdfx
(page 1 in a footnote) you need the following command:
xelatex --shell-escape -output-driver="xdvipdfmx -z 0" <filename>.tex
MWE:
documentclass{article}
usepackage[a-1b]{pdfx}
usepackage{pst-barcode}
begin{document}
begin{pspicture}(2.5,1in)
psbarcode{01335583}{includetext}{ean8}
end{pspicture}
end{document}
