Code 39 as Barcode in PDF Form

[nelliebly1025]

I have a PDF form that I included a barcode with, but I need it to be a different type of barcode. My only options are PDF417, QR Code, or Data Matrix. I need it to be the typical line bar code like Code 39. How do I do this and still have it pull from my form data? I have a javascript to do that.

You need to install a font that supports this barcode symbology and then simply create a text field and assign that font to it.

I tried doing that and nothing came up in the box.

Nothing? Did you make sure the field has a value? That the font is working correctly?

The font works; just tested in Word. I have a custom script for were the value should come from. Is still blank

Can you share the file with us (via Dropbox, Google Drive, Adobe Send & Track, etc.)?

I know this is an old thread, but was there a fix to this issue as I need a code 39.

The solution I described works fine, if you use the right font. I've done it myself many times.

The code generates, but won't be able to scan with a barcode scanner, because you need to manually insert * before and after the text.   For example, if you want HELLO to be scanned by a barcode scanner, you must insert the text as *HELLO*
