Is there any documentation for how to implement barcodes in xforms

Please clarify how to implement barcode functionality within orbeon 3.9 PE.

The wiki reference (see link) isn't clear on how to implement.

What exactly do you want to do with barcodes? The oxf.fr.detail.pdf.barcode property documented on the wiki just places a barcode with the document id on generated PDF. Do you need this, or something else? - ebruchez
@ebruchez we are trying to generate barcodes to template pdf's. We would also like to manipulate the barcode values to data values from form values. - landyg

If you set this property the barcode should appear on the PDF.

<property as="xs:boolean" name="oxf.fr.detail.pdf.barcode.*.*" value="true"/>

This uses the document id as value for the barcode.

This is the only built-in function right now. You can see how this is done in the source here:
