The Adobe LiveCycle Barcoded Forms ES Barcode Decoding Service can be provided with both PDF and TIFF files as input but is expecting a scanned image and not a dynamicPDF.
If you try to fill in a dynamic PDF form, save it, and then place this file into the Watched Folder (for example) of the decode service you will receive the following error:
ALC-BCF-002-004: PDFException. Caused by: com.adobe.internal.pdftoolkit.core.exceptions.PDFException: Processing of barcode images in dynamic PDF form not supported: No 'page content' found
To avoid this issue, go through the full fill, print, and scan cycle and then place the results of the scanned image into the decoder's Watched Folder directory.
