Adding a barcode to a PDF enables scanning in logistics, retail, library, and inventory workflows. PDFStream generates a standard barcode from your data and embeds it on the PDF page. Enter the barcode value, choose the barcode format (Code 128, Code 39, EAN-13, and others), and set the position and size. The barcode is added to every page or to a specified page. Use cases: adding a product barcode to a packaging specification PDF, embedding an inventory barcode on a stock sheet, inserting a tracking barcode on a shipment document, or adding a library barcode to a catalog entry.
