Here is how to get to the Document JavaScripts in the English/macOS version of Acrobat: Use the tool search function and search for "JavaScript", this will bring up all the relevant tools. You should see "Document JavaScripts" listed, and you should be able to click on it:
Once that is done, you should see the actual Document JavaScripts dialog:
Add the script name as indicated in my post ("convert_ean13") and dlick on the "Add" button. This will bring up the editor. In my post, you will see text that is in a mono-spaced font that starts with "function convert_ean13(ch_in) {" and ends with a single "}". That's the portion that you need to copy. Once you save this script, you can close the JavaScript tool by clicking on the Close button in the toolbar.
Then create your form fields. I assume you know how to do that because your screenshot already contains form fields. I am starting with a blank PDF file and I am adding two text fields, one named "SomeText" as indicated in my post and a second one called BarCode. You do not have to do anything special with the "SomeText" field, but for the "BarCode" field, bring up the properties dialog. You should see something like this:
We will make changes on the General and the Calculate tab. On the General tab, check the "Read Only" checkbox, then switch to the Calculate tab.
Here you want to select the "Custom calculation script" option and then click on the associated Enter button. The script we are using here is again from my post, and it goes from "// Get the text from the field "SomeText",..." to again a single "}". Copy and paste that into the editor. Save the script and close the properties dialog. To test the script, click on "Preview" in Acrobat's Prepare Form toolbar. When you now type "Product1" into the "SomeText" field and hit the tab key, you should see "4AOBEMO*deeefb+" in the barcode field. This is the string that will become the actual barcode, once we configure the barcode font, so open up the properties dialog for the BarCode field again, but this time we go to the "Appearance" tab and select the correct font (which you should have installed before you started working in Acrobat, otherwise you will have to save your form and restart Acrobat):
This will show the barcode in your form field.
I just walked through all these steps in order to capture the screenshots, and I did not end up with an error message, so I know it works. If you get an error message, then you are doing something different from what I've done.
If this is still a bit too complex for you, you may want to consider to hire somebody to do that for you (and yes, I am available for jobs like this, as is try67 and others on this site).
