Hate to resurrect an old thread, but I got this to work with Prawn, and it's
pretty slick.
(This is in a prawnto/Rails view)

require 'barby'
require 'barby/outputter/prawn_outputter'

pdf.bounding_box [450,700], :width => 100 do
  barcode = Barby::Code39.new(@order.order_identifier)
  barcode.annotate_pdf(pdf, :height => 30)
end

Plops a nice vector barcode right there. Really slick!
