Barcode on PDF in vb

[csgraham74]

Hi there,

Im attempting to write a piece of software that allows me to add a
barcode to a pdf document.

I build the document in asp.net code and populate text fields on the
document - at the same time i want to add a barcode onto the document.

Does anyone know how best to do this ??

Are there any products to allow me to do this ??

does anyone have any examples of code ??

Thanks

How about using a barcode font and embedding that font into the PDF?

If you are going to put some kind of address (email or fax number or
whatever) in the bar code, then you might be in trouble. If I remember
correctly, that idea is patented. Or at least it is part of a patent
description I read a few months ago.

I for one welcome our new software patent overlords.
