The O'Reilly 'Developing with PDF' book says that you can use XObjects to embed
vectorial images (such as, perhaps, EPS). Has anyone here ever tried it?
I have that book too, it actually says "PDF doesn't really have the concept of a
vector image such as an EPS or EMF" (p58). It's description of what an Form XObject
is is rather brief though. To clarify, it's a way of embedding an existing PDF content
stream, e.g. perhaps a diagram or a page from another PDF. It does not provide support
for any other file formats.
Most barcodes I've encountered in PDFs use special fonts, rather than graphics.
Can't remember if the 1.8.9 version can work properly, i.e. embed the
font. And yes, a dedicated font best. There are some "3 of 9" fonts
available on the web. With the font I use at work, one has to include
the text wwith "*", i.e. *12345678* .

Hello,
is it possible to embed an EPS in a PDF, with PDFBox?
No because PDF doesn't support it:

or did you mean to embed the EPS file as an attachment to the PDF?
