We could use Adobe Acrobat Pro DC software for 2D Barcodes or else we could use Adobe Livecycle designer for 1D Barcodes.
After creating placeholders in these above mentioned softwares, we could map the properties in map eForm rule.
For Barcodes, we have a javascript line (docReady) which we need to write with which we could generate barcodes from user entered value.
See this discussion : https://pdn.pega.com/community/pega-product-support/question/how-can-i-put-qr-code-print-reportexpexcel-or-pdf
This uses Google's 'zxing' library to generate a QR code image; which can then be included in a HTML Rule; which can then be converted to a PDF.
The same 'zxing' library can generate other types of barcodes as well.
