Hello Gilad, I suppose you could define a form button and assign the appearance to be an image file, generated perhaps from Barcode4J. I use that trick in Acrobat Pro to add content to PDFs, content I have scanned to PDF.
I went down a different route and added barcodes as XObjects. Using the Okapi library, I wrote a very simple (no text) PDF Renderer based on their SVG one and took the output from that renderer and wrapped it as an XObject.

I saw an old post of yours where you write that maybe this can be done with Barcode4J, but I think that would just generate the barcode as an image, not as a field.
