Hey @Byevenes , Can you explain the specific details of this feature, what you want to acheive? , I believe you want to add a schema for generating barcode in PDF417 format, where you can put text or data thats needs to be encoded into barcode.

pdf417 is supported by bwip-js, the barcode generator that is included in pdfme, so this is easily achievable.

You could test this by forking the repo and adding the type pdf417 to this list:

export const BARCODE_TYPES = [
  'qrcode',
  'japanpost',
  'ean13',
  'ean8',
  'code39',
  'code128',
  'nw7',
  'itf14',
  'upca',
  'upce',
  'gs1datamatrix',
] as const;

Further changes would be required to the barcode schema including the propPanel, but you should be able to work it out if you have some JS experience.

Let us know how you get on. This could either be implemented as a separate plugin, or possibly a PR to extend the existing barcode one if the code changes are smaller.
