Generate PDFs with Barcodes and QR Codes in Spring Boot (Thymeleaf, Apache FOP, Barcode4J)

Code with me :    / @devrcode  
In this tutorial, I'll walk you through the process of creating dynamic PDF documents using Spring Boot, Thymeleaf, Apache FOP, and Barcode4j.

Barcode4J supports multiple type of code generations such as:
1) Interleaved 2 of 5 - https://barcode4j.sourceforge.net/tru...
2) ITF-14 - https://barcode4j.sourceforge.net/tru...
3) Codabar - https://barcode4j.sourceforge.net/tru...
4) Code 39- https://barcode4j.sourceforge.net/tru...
5) Code 128- https://barcode4j.sourceforge.net/tru...
6) UPC-A- https://barcode4j.sourceforge.net/tru...
7) UPC-E- https://barcode4j.sourceforge.net/tru...
8) EAN-13- https://barcode4j.sourceforge.net/tru...
9) EAN-8- https://barcode4j.sourceforge.net/tru...
10) EAN-12- https://barcode4j.sourceforge.net/tru...
11) POSTNET- https://barcode4j.sourceforge.net/tru...
12) Royal Mail Customer Barcode- https://barcode4j.sourceforge.net/tru...
13) USPS Intelligent Mail (4-State Customer Barcode)- https://barcode4j.sourceforge.net/tru...
14) PDF417- https://barcode4j.sourceforge.net/tru...
15) DataMatrix - https://barcode4j.sourceforge.net/tru...
16) QR Code- https://barcode4j.sourceforge.net/tru...

Thymeleaf, a modern server-side Java template engine, will enable us to seamlessly integrate dynamic data into our PDF documents. Apache FOP (Formatting Objects Processor) will handle the conversion of XML-based formatting instructions into PDF files, providing high-quality, customizable outputs. And Barcode4j will empower us to generate various types of barcodes directly within our PDF documents.

Throughout the video, we'll cover the following key topics:

1. Setting up a Spring Boot project and integrating Thymeleaf for dynamic content rendering.
2. Designing templates using Thymeleaf to structure the layout of our PDF documents.
3. Incorporating Apache FOP to convert Thymeleaf templates into PDF files.
Enhancing PDFs with dynamic data, such as user information and transaction details.
4. Leveraging Barcode4j to generate barcodes within our PDF documents for improved functionality and user experience.

Whether you're a beginner looking to expand your knowledge of Spring Boot and PDF generation or an experienced developer seeking to implement advanced features in your applications, this tutorial has something for everyone.
