Not yet ;-)
I can think of 3 possibilities for a static barcodes module:
- draw the bars with MetaPost
- use psTricks/pdfTricks
- call GNU barcode externally
- use barcode fonts (makes no sense...)
That would be interesting for price tags, ISBN or the like.
But dynamical stuff like Adobe's must probably get drawn with
JavaScript (or perhaps Flash?).
I guess it would be *possible* but you'd have to hire a good
programmer...
