I have an existing PDF template that I have to edit. I know pretty much nothing about messing with PDFs (fair warning). There is a standard barcode that the customer wants changed to a Data Matrix barcode.
What is in the PDF template right now:
So far, I have the following:
- Open the PDF template (opens in Adobe Acrobat Pro)
- Go to Tools > Forms > Edit in Designer. This opens the PDF in LiveCycle Designer.
- Right click on the on the barcode and go to Palettes > Object. This opens an object tab for the barcode.
Now, it looks like there is a drop down to edit the barcode type. But it's disabled, and I don't know why.
The option to right click on the barcode and select Change Object Type is also disabled.
Does anyone know how to edit the barcode type to be a Data Matrix?
UPDATE I do not want to have to re-create the barcode. I just want to edit what is there. Not add and remove.

Code 128 Barcode Font
Ok, I managed to find a solution. At the top of LiveCycle, I originally had two tabs.
If you right click on the gray space next to the tabs, you can choose 'XML Source', which makes a new tab appear.
In the 'Design View' tab, I clicked on the bar code I wanted to change (so that it was selected). I then clicked on the 'XML Source' tab. It takes you directly to the bar code code, which looked like the following (note that I removed some attributes and tags and replaced them with ...)
That type attribute on the barcode tag just needed to be changed to dataMatrix, and the barcode was updated to the correct type.
Note: I also had to modify the heights of the fields, etc. But this is pretty self explanatory.
