       If you are using x64 libraries/dlls, Right click the project -> Properties -> Build -> Platform target: x64.

       If using x86, the platform target should be x86.

Add the following C# demo code to your project (create Code 128 on PDF Document demo).

String inputFilePath = @"D:\MyProj\RasterEdgeImagingTest\Demo\Temp\1.pdf";
String outputFilePath = @"D:\MyProj\RasterEdgeImagingTest\Demo\Temp\output.pdf";

//  open the document
PDFDocument doc = new PDFDocument(inputFilePath);
PDFPage page = (PDFPage)doc.GetPage(0);

//  Construct a linear barcode
Linear barcode = new Linear();
//  set type to CODE128
barcode.Type = BarcodeType.CODE128;
//  set module width to 1 pixel
barcode.X = 1;
//  set module height to 60 pixel
barcode.Y = 60;
//  set data
barcode.Data = "1234567";
//  draw barcode at point (20, 20)
barcode.DrawBarcode(page, 20F, 20F);

//  output the new document
doc.Save(outputFilePath);
