Greetings, print to file and send it to me, I'll see if I can open it. Alternatively, hexedit will open, it and it could look at the leader and the end byte codes to see what it is you are producing.Then compare what you are producing to what works.
from the command line $ hexedit foo.pdf
Alternately you can just open the pdf in a plain text editor and check to see that the barcode data is there. PDF is a sort of mangled Post Script stream. Below is the stream for a single item. The line with the series of zeros and ones is the barcode. However, I can confirm that the barcodes do not display in Reader 9.0 while they do in 7.0. Versions 8.0 and 9.0 use PDF version 1.7 while 7.0 uses 1.6. There may be a subtle difference in syntax that causes the breakage. I'll open a bug and try to take a look at it next week.
