PDF417 Encoder

NeoMedia's PDF417 Encoder creates PDF417 bar code print streams for desktop, mid-range and mainframe platforms. PDF417 is a high-capacity two-dimensional barcode capable of storing any binary or textual information. Industry applications for PDF417 include driver's licenses, ID cards, EDI, insurance cards and any other situation in which a large amount of machine-readable data must be printed in a small area.

Portable Data File 417, or PDF417, is a multi-row, variable-length symbology offering high data capacity and error-correction capability for real-world applications where portions of symbols can get destroyed in handling. PDF417 symbols can be scanned by linear scanners, rastering laser scanners, or two-dimensional imaging devices.

The PDF417 product offering from NeoMedia encompasses mainframe and mid-range platform encoders to create a PDF417 bar code print stream. The encoder takes your input data, performs all the required computation, and produces a set of text characters that, when printed with one of the provided custom fonts, results in a PDF417 barcode being output.
