I would take a look at using an rtf library. This will give you the
control you need over your layout and allow you to specify fonts.
You'll also need a Code 3 of 9 font.
Then you can specify your text and build all the barcodes in the
format of *12348* etc.

rtf class: http://www.phpclasses.org/browse/package/1805.html
If you need to provide a pdf of the document for a client that may not
have the font installed you could then use:
http://paggard.com/projects/doc.generator/
I'm sure there are some open source converters out there.

This is a task I'm going to need to be building soon myself, but I
have no current time line on this feature as of yet. However if you
get something working a follow up post would be awesome.
