RFID Support in Professional
Encoding of data into RFID tags and labels was previously only provided in the two
Automation editions. It is now available in Professional as well.
Brand New Properties Dialog
The Properties dialog (previously called Modify) is much faster and easier to use,
including:
- Instant changes without having to click OK
- Quicker access to object properties
- New "Transforms" pane makes it easier to modify imported data
- New Data Source wizards
The navigation pane on the left of the new Properties dialog makes it quick and
easy to find the options you want to customize.
The new Transforms pane makes it even easier to customize the external data you
import at print time.
Data Type Support
BarTender no longer treats all data as just “text.” Powerful support for data types
(including decimals, integers, fractions, dates and more) lets you perform advanced
validation and data conversion functions usually only seen in spreadsheets and database
systems.
New "Select Barcode" Browser
Now it’s easier than ever to select exactly the barcode you need. Quickly preview
more than 400 preformatted, ready-to use barcode components. Choose from numerous
"Common Barcodes" or drill down into folders of different application-specific barcodes.
Easier Object Creation
It’s now also easier to create text and import graphics. And, if you have an RFID
or "smart card" capable printer, it’s easier to select the right encoding technology
and standard.
The new "Create Encoder" option intelligently adapts to show you only the encoding
options
available for your printer.

- Kerning and spacing
- Font outlines
- More line spacing options

- Effects for mirror, transparency and negative
