I created a form with a dynamic barcode. The form works great if you open it with Acrobat Pro but does not work with the reader.

I think what Bernd means to say is that the Bar code field will not execute in Reader, unless the PDF has a special "Reader Right" applied to it.

 

The reason for this is that there really isn't a bar code field in PDF. Adobe has appropiated the text form field and added special functionality for displaying a bar code appearance. So it is under Adobe control, it's not part of the PDF spec.
