Hi,
 Could you please help me changing the Default appearance of Text Fields in Pdf 
AcroForm using Pdf Box. Most of the time I am using 
    COSDictionary.setString(COSName.DA, "/Helv 9 Tf") or 
COSDictionary.setString(COSName.DA, PDFType1Font.HELVETICA)  but I want the 
Default appearance to have the specified font when immediately the form loaded.
Please help me.

Subject: PDFBox AcroForms and Barcode

Hi,

to enhance the coverage of acroforms wrt to the PDF specification we'd need to 
support barcode fields. A lib we could use as a base is Barcode4J [1] which is 
ASL licensed. As it has features and dependencies we don't need/want I'd think 
we'd need to rip it apart and reuse what's needed and add what's missing.

The other option is adding that as a dependency and add a custom Canvas 
implementation but this means that we'd also need Avalon … - which would add a 
lot to PDFBox. So I'd tend towards taking the code as a base.

How could we proceed?
