I need to convert a proprietary MS Access based printing solution into something I can
maintain. Seems there is plenty available for generating barcodes in Python, so for the
persons who have been down this road I was hoping to get a pointer or two.

I need to create some type of output, preferably pdf, which is an array of 2 across by 8 long
of one custom barcode label with some other text components oriented around the barcode.

Anyone know the best approach for this? Generating the barcode looks trivial, I am just not
sure which package might offer the remaining functionality easily.

Thanks for any pointers!
