By the way , pay attention to your system platform, select the suitable one . I use a barcode generator driver found on the internet . Install it and it becomes a selectable option.Then you can generate barcodes  in many formats  in any program at all, including Adobe Acrobat . Just open the sdk, select barcode, and choice a form you want, then you can generate barcode in c#, vb, asp ,etc ,the task will be finished in several seconds. if you haven't found a good choice  , you can have a try. and there is a free trial of the sdk , you can try this firstly. best wishes.
