it's part of PDF 2 specified by the PMD entry in the fields dictionary.

(Required; barcode fields only; PDF 2.0) The PaperMetaData generation
parameters dictionary. The entries of this dictionary are instructions to a
barcode encoding module of an interactive PDF processor on how to generate the

Barcode symbologies are PDF417, QRCode, or DataMatrix.
