Question:I receive around 30 work orders a day from my primary client. They send them to me in a standardized report format, in a single PDF, with one page for each different work orders. Unfortunately, these PDF reports don't include the work order_ID in a barcoded format, only in regular text font and they are unwilling to comply to my request to modify the report by adding a barcode. Is there a way to automatically add a barcode to the PDF? basically I would want the PDF editing app to search for the text “work order ID:” and to insert the barcode, beneath the work_order ID. Please advise, VeryPDF.
