Easily stamping text, images and barcodes

   Hi, all.

This is an example of a very easy way to stamp text, images and barcodes into PDF AcroForm fields.

xfdf stamper

I use the iText library, compiled to native Windows .exe (can also compile to DLL) using gcc/gcj.

It's a very interesting alternative to QuickPDF, especially since it's free, and can be compiled to Windows, Linux, and many other OS'. It's also being actively developed. 

The example uses Adobe's xfdf format for the data, "enhanced" with additional attributes to specify image URI, image type, and barcode type.
