SVG is an XML based vector format. You could parse this SVG and convert the drawing commands to PDF drawing commands and add those to your document. This would then create a vector based barcode. The only obstacle is the parsing and conversion of SVG. I would analyze barcode4j output to see how complex it would be to write my own parser/converter, and if that's not an option, you can go with Apache Batik (https://xmlgraphics.apache.org/batik/) to do the heavy lifting.
