How to create barcodes with visualforce rendered as PDF

We would like to create a bar code of the case number. This would then go onto a PDF document that is generated via visualforce.  How do i generate the code to produce the barcode with visualforce and an Apex controller?   Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.

Hi,

You can create a text formula field in case object . And use the below formula in it :

 

IMAGE("http://www.barcodesinc.com/generator/image.php?code="+CaseNumber +"&style=325&type=C128B&width=200&height=50&xres=1&font=3" ,"Barcode")

Hi,

 

As of now it is not possible to generate barcode in salesforce. There are few apps, listed in below link, which provide this functionality.

Hello Puja_mfsi, the suggested solution doesn't work with a 'Visualforce page rendered as PDF'. Could you check this out?
