if i copy and paste my southwest boarding pass into paint, so i can save as pdf, will the barcode scan?

Question

i have an old printer, and a new laptop that i cant get the printer software onto, so i have to save to my thumb drive as a pdf file, plug it into my printer, and print it that way (been doing this forever)

however, im trying to print my southwest boarding pass with a barcode on it and it wont let me save as pdf from the webpage...so if i copy it into paint and save it that way, will the barcode still scan when i go to board the plane?

Answer 1

Remember that you don't have to print your boarding pass. You can just go to the airport to get it. It'll save the hassle and possibly the unreliable paint.

Answer 2

Southwest Airline now offers boarding pass in Adobe PDF (Portable Document Format). If you want to crop out the barcode, you can go with the PDF COPY PASTE software,

Answer 3

I agree with J-Ville boy.

Don't take the chance.

You can check in online (and still get the good boarding group) and then print off the boarding pass at the airport.

Answer 4

Yea.
