I regularly receive shipping address labels in pdf format from the post. The pdf document containing the address label is formatted in a very stupid way taking up the entire A4, while just A6 would be enough. One has to cut about 70% of the page and throw the excess paper to trash, to get the address label. Then one has to use a glue stick to glue it on the shipment.
The label contains the recipient's address details, sender's details, and postage & tracking information, both as a barcode.
I would rather use standard self-adhesive sticker labels and a label printer instead. To achieve this, I would need to process each pdf file to crop out the label, shrink parts (the boxed fields) of the label slightly to fit it to the A6 shipping label size.
The cropped label needs to be downscaled to A6 size. But how to prevent the barcode from getting broken? Pdfposter breaks the parcel tracking barcode.
