The “Place barcode” Fixup in pdfToolbox lets you create and place a wide range of barcodes and matrix codes on a PDF file. Advanced barcode parameters allow for greater customization of their appearance.

This video demonstrates how to use the Advanced Settings tab to add JSON-based key-value pairs to define any supported advanced parameter, such as removing text from an EAN-13 barcode or placing a rectangular matrix code.
