Display or a barcode - loss of details

I'm posting the screenshot of the barcode generated in Microsoft Word, along with the same barcode displayed in Adobe Reader 2024.005.20399. I.e. in Word I save the file as PDF, then I open it in Reader, and the results are on the screenshot - obviously AR "merges" many bars together, so there's far less detail. If I zoom in in AR, the "missing" bars show up, so there's no loss. But I'm still wondering if it's possible to have AR showing the barcodes in all details in the same way as Word does it.

I also tried this PDF in another PDF viewer (SumatraPDF) and it showed the barcode with the same detail level as Word.

Here's both Word file and PDF file Word has created.

Here's also the screenshot of this file shown by Word, by Adobe Reader, and by Sumatra PDF. As you can see, while display size is practically the same, AR has merged several vertical bars above "7" into one thick bar, while both Word and Sumatra showed separate bars. Same with the bars above "5"
