Ok thanks. Actually my problem is that I cannot get the barcode to display at the correct top and left position on the pdf document. I tried three different possible ways of getting this to work as noted below and no luck. Could you provide some example code to generate the barcode and get it to appear in a specified location on a document? I am currently using a contentByte to position everything else on the document and would be great if I could use that same contentByte to position the barcode, but whatever works...
