Aspose.BarCode Product Family

I would like to know if it is possible to place a Barcode on an existing PDF form.
Perhaps there may be a sample code, please let me know.

Here is my project:

  1. I have several fillable PDF forms files in my folder
  2. i need to open one at the time and place a BarCode (whichs represents the account# and state)
  3. then save the PDF.

My Environment: Windows 10, Eclipse 2019, Aspose.total for Java

Thank you very much in advance.

@mromero_rubinrothman_com,
Your requirement can be easily fulfilled using Aspose.Barcode and Aspose.PDF as follows:

  1. Generate barcode using Aspose.Barcode as per your requirement and save it as an image.
  2. Open the existing PDF using Aspose.PDF
  3. Place the image in the existing PDF and save the file

You may please give a try to the sample code in the above mentioned articles and share your feedback.

@mromero_rubinrothman_com,
I have created below code snippet which is combination from suggested documents. Let us know your feedback.

ByteArrayOutputStream imageStream = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
BarCodeGenerator barCodeGenerator = new BarCodeGenerator(EncodeTypes.GS_1_CODE_128);
String fileFolder = "D:\\barcode\\";
String filename = "GS_1_CODE_128.png";
SetBarCodeGenerator(barCodeGenerator, 0, 1f, 0f, 0f, false);
barCodeGenerator.getCodeTextStyle().setLocation(CodeLocation.BELOW);                
barCodeGenerator.setCodeText("(01)30012345678906");
try
{
    barCodeGenerator.save(imageStream, BarCodeImageFormat.PNG);
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
}

byte[] bytes = imageStream.toByteArray();
ByteArrayInputStream inputStream = new ByteArrayInputStream(bytes);
Document pdfDocument = new Document(fileFolder + "Test.pdf");
// create image stamp
ImageStamp imageStamp = new ImageStamp(inputStream);
imageStamp.setBackground(true);
imageStamp.setXIndent(100);
imageStamp.setYIndent(100);
imageStamp.setHeight(123);
imageStamp.setWidth(214);
// add stamp to particular page
pdfDocument.getPages().get_Item(1).addStamp(imageStamp);
// save output document
pdfDocument.save(fileFolder + "Stamp_output.pdf");

private static void SetBarCodeGenerator(BarCodeGenerator barCodeGenerator, float width, float height, float left, float right, boolean setWidth)
{
    barCodeGenerator.setAutoSizeMode(AutoSizeMode.INTERPOLATION);
    barCodeGenerator.getBarCodeHeight().setInches(height);
    barCodeGenerator.getMargins().getLeft().setPixels(left);
    barCodeGenerator.getMargins().getRight().setPixels(right);

    if (setWidth)
        barCodeGenerator.getBarCodeWidth().setInches(width);
}
