I have a AFPDS spool file with two barcodes

text below them. Problem is on a few

have it defined to overlap.
The overlapping may not be related to the barcodes per se. If you are using a proportional font, the length of any given field will be variable! In other words, we are accustomed to thinking of a 50 character field as occupying 5 inches at 10 cpi. In a proportional font, on average, it will only occupy 3.5 inches. If I lay my bar code (or any other field or graphic) at 4.0 inches, on occasion, the 50 character field will have enough wide characters to extend past that 4 inch mark and over the field.
I understand you didn't define the fields to overlap, but this is a common occurrence for me. I thought it might be a possibility in your case, too.
