The attached project uses inline Java code and the ITEXT library to create various types of 1D and 2D barcodes. The barcodes are store in a PDF file(s). Change the code in the B4J class or add additional classes in the attached project to create separate PDF files for each of the different 1D and 2D barcodes.
Notice that I have commented the majority of code in the class module so that the project will only create PDF417, Datamatrix, and QR Codes - they are stored in Belinda.pdf that you will find in directory ItextBarcodes of the B4J project - see the code in the class module if you for eg want to save it to the /Files folder of the B4J project.
Sure you will figure out the rest. Browse the web - it is mighty helpful...
