Thank you misters, Drawing static barcodes is very easy, but I really like the dynamic barcoded forms. I've downloaded some examples which is written in java, and it says that it uses XML. I've heard that ConTeXt can use XML but when I've finished reading the example.pdf (it is talking about XML in ConTeXt, right?), I totally have no idea about it. I love ConTeXt so much that I wish it can do everything.
By the way, I have another question: how can we make reader-extension pdfs? I mean we can save, add anotations, etc., using Adobe Reader 7 or above. It is another cool function.
