import com.itextpdf.text.pdf.PdfWriter;

public class BarCode128Test {

  /**
   @param args
   @throws DocumentException 
   @throws FileNotFoundException 
   */
  public static void main(String[] argsthrows FileNotFoundException, DocumentException {
    Document document = new Document(new Rectangle(PageSize.A4));
    PdfWriter writer = PdfWriter.getInstance(document, new FileOutputStream("barcode128.pdf"));
    document.open();

    //Barcode 128
    document.add(new Paragraph("Barcode 128"));
    Barcode128 code128 = new Barcode128();
    code128.setGenerateChecksum(true);
    code128.setCode("0123456789");
    
    //Add Barcode to PDF document
        document.add(code128.createImageWithBarcode(writer.getDirectContent(), null, null));
