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 order. 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 Oder ID:" and to insert the barcode, beneath the work_order ID. please advise. thanks very much.

char szBarcodeTemp[MAX_PATH];
GetModulePath(szBarcodeTemp, "Barcode-temp.pdf");
char szBarcodeNew[MAX_PATH];
GetModulePath(szBarcodeNew, "_Barcode-out3_barcode128.pdf");
BOOL bRet = FALSE;
PDFForm_SetLicenseKey("XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX");
string strFormValues;
strFormValues += "BarCode1[0]=>Code128=>(01)01234567890128(15)051231";
strFormValues += "\n";
strFormValues += "BarCode2[0]=>Code128_UCC=>(01)01234567890128(15)051231";
strFormValues += "\n";
strFormValues += "BarCode3[0]=>Code128_RAW=>(01)01234567890128(15)051231";
strFormValues += "\n";
strFormValues += "BarCode4[0]=>Code128=>(01)01234567890128(15)051231";
strFormValues += "\n";
strFormValues += "BarCode5[0]=>Code128_UCC=>(01)01234567890128(15)051231";
strFormValues += "\n";
strFormValues += "BarCode6[0]=>Code128_RAW=>(01)01234567890128(15)051231";
strFormValues += "\n";
strFormValues += "BarCode7[0]=>Code128=>(01)01234567890128(15)051231";
strFormValues += "\n";
strFormValues += "BarCode8[0]=>Code128_UCC=>(01)01234567890128(15)051231";
bRet = PDFForm_InsertBarcodeIntoPDF2(szBarcodeTemp, szBarcodeNew, strFormValues.c_str());
printf("Return value is: %d\n", bRet);
return;
}
2. Stamp barcodes to PDF pages directly, this function is included in "PDFStamp SDK" product, please look at following web pages for more information,

https://www.verypdf.com/wordpress/201109/pdf-stamp-command-line-is-support-barcode-now-2395.html
This is a C++ example to stamp barcodes to PDF pages,
#define Very_Set_EmbedFont 241
#define Very_Get_EmbedFont 241
void EmbedBarcodeFonts()
{
long id;
int nRet = -1;
char szOutPDF[MAX_PATH];
char szPDFFile[MAX_PATH];
GetModulePath(szPDFFile,"example.pdf");
GetModulePath(szOutPDF,"out-embedfont.pdf");
id=VeryStampOpen(szPDFFile,szOutPDF);
if(id>0)
{
VeryStampSetFunction(id, Very_Set_EmbedFont, 1, 0, 0, 0);
VeryStampAddText(id, 1, "0123456789", RGB(0, 0, 0), 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, "Free 3 of 9", 8, 1,"https://www.verypdf.com/",0);
