Barcode failed to display in PDF with...

Hi,

I am a newbie in this forum and if you found my topic should not be posted here,
please kindly let me know.

I have a question about online filling data to a PDF and hope someone can help me.

I am having a XFDF and PDF and data will be filled into PDF online. One of the fields
on the PDF is a code 3 of 9 (code39) barcode. The PDF has embedded the code39
font in it but the PDF does not format the text values into barcode form.

I found an article in web showing how to show barcode on PDF with XFDF

%26lt;field name=''Barcode'' type=''barcode'' symbology=''pdf417'' %26gt;
?%26lt;value%26gt;
?PDF-417 is a ''stacked linear'' symbology invented by
?Symbol.?The iText library makes it very easy to embed this
?symbology in a PDF file.
?%26lt;/value%26gt;
%26lt;/field%26gt;

Must I specify this format in the XFDF file such that the PDF knows the text field is
a barcode format?

Should I change the 'symbology=''pdf417'''?into 'symbology=''code39''' ?

If you have any experience on this issue, please kindly share it with me.

Thanks a lot,
Raymond
