Barcodes have whitespace (gaps) between sections which parallel spaces between words in the text values

Description

I have attached a program listing and output pdf to show what my issue is.

I used the Code39 font which was included with PDFinclude, but also had the same result with a Code128b font.

I need to know if there is a way to print the barcode without the gaps.

Also, is there a way to print the text value in the barcode (see sample.png attachment)?
