I am trying to use pdf-lib to fill out a pdf that has a PDF417 barcode added in Acrobat that has it's output tied to some fields.
How did you attempt to do it?
The form was generated in Adobe Acrobat and works when filled in manually in Acrobat/Reader. I then used pdf-lib to set the text of the fields I needed changed, then saved the result to disk following the sample in the README.
What actually happened?
When changing a field that the barcode is tied to, the barcode goes grey. When opening in Acrobat and editing the form after the barcode goes grey, the field states "Barcode Render Error"
What did you expect to happen?
I expected the barcode in the output PDF to still update as fields were modified in Reader/Acrobat as seen on the left in below video
