We added a PDFPrinter and… – Joe C. Hecht – Google+

Recently, I needed a bunch of EPS files for EAN-13 barcodes (that’s the kind of barcodes European companies put on their products).
Terry Burton wrote a great barcode writer in pure PostScript for this, with a simple web front end to generate a barcode one at a time.
Actually, his tool can:
Since most DTP packages favour EPS over PS, and I needed more than just a few of them, I went a bit beyond the one-at-a-time simple web front end.
