Adding barcode to a form

[joeitaliano]

Hello

i would like to know if it is possible (for a demo that i am doing) to insert a barcode to a form

i have a barcode SDK that i can use. The forms have been created by a client and there is no region or field name for the barcode to be inserted so i just want to place/overlay the barcode onto the PDF form

if the demo goes well the we can set aside an area specifically for the barcode

many thanks in advance and keep up the great work

Hello Joe,

Is the barcode generated as text and passed along with the font or as an image from this SDK you are using?
In either case I believe you should be able to add it to the document.

Then you can create a stamp out of this image, and place the stamp where you need it, and can then lock it if desired.

With the Tools SDK you can easily add the image directly, but with the Viewer you will need to use the Stamp workaround.

Best,
Stefan
