+  questions:
+  - question: Can I search for multiple barcode formats in one call?
+    answer: Yes. `BarcodeSearchOptions` searches all supported formats by default.
+      Filter results by `getEncodeType()` if you need only specific types.
+  - question: How do I handle documents that contain both barcode and image signatures?
+    answer: Run separate searches—use `BarcodeSignature.class` for barcodes and `ImageSignature.class`
+      for image signatures, then combine the results as needed.
+  - question: What’s the performance impact of searching all pages vs. specific pages?
+    answer: Scanning every page of a 50‑page PDF can take 3–5 seconds. Limiting to
+      first + last pages usually finishes under 1 second.
+  - question: Does this work with scanned PDFs (raster images)?
+    answer: Only if the barcode was added as a digital signature object. For raster‑only
+      barcodes, you’ll need an image‑based barcode recognizer (e.g., GroupDocs.Barcode).
+  - question: How can I verify that a barcode signature hasn’t been tampered with?
+    answer: Embed a hash or digital signature inside the barcode payload, then recompute
+      the hash on the original data and compare. This requires the original signing
+      key or certificate.

 # Search Barcode Specific Pages in Documents Using Java
 
 ## Introduction
 
-Ever spent hours manually verifying signatures across hundreds of documents? You're not alone. Whether you're building a contract management system, automating invoice processing, or securing healthcare records, manually tracking down and validating barcode signatures is tedious and error‑prone.
+Ever spent hours manually verifying signatures across hundreds of documents? You're not alone. Whether you're building a contract management system, automating invoice processing, or securing healthcare records, manually tracking down and validating barcode signatures is tedious and error‑prone. **In this tutorial you’ll learn how to search barcode pages java with GroupDocs.Signature**, so you can programmatically target only the pages that matter, monitor progress in real time, and handle a variety of barcode formats with just a few lines of Java code.

+`Signature` is the primary class representing a document to be processed. Load your document with `new Signature("file.pdf")`, `BarcodeSearchOptions` defines the parameters for searching barcode signatures, and configure it to target the desired pages, and call `signature.search(options)`. The `search` method runs the search operation using the provided options. The engine returns a list of `BarcodeSignature` objects that contain page numbers, decoded text, and geometric coordinates—all in a single call. This one‑step pattern eliminates the need for separate image extraction or custom decoding logic.
