I have made a PDB document with Acrobat Pro 2025 , containing a text field entry and a QR Code visualization (barcode component). The QR Code does well refresh when the text field is entered.

However when I open the same document with Acrobat Reader 2025 . The QR Code stay a gray rectangle ,

How can I avoid that issue ?

I noticed the message when I inserted the barcode component : “A Barcode field encodes data that end-users type into a fillable PDF Form. Use of this type of field for paper forms processing requires Adobe’s Barcoded Paper Forms solution(Separate license required)”

I notice the similar point I an previous post :

What is the process to obtain that license today? Is it still “LiveCycle”?
I use the 26 mouths Acobate Pro licence.

Thanks in advance .BR

May be that you need AEM Forms for this.

Thanks for your answer ! I understand your caution in recommending this license. Looking at the descriptions of this license, it is difficult to understand which Adobe tool it is associated with and for what purpose: personal, shared cloud resources, customer service. My use concerns only personal editing of the PDF and the document is shared by email with end users who do not have a license. Is it a way to ensure that “AEM Forms” license does match exactly my need?
