The
Black Ice PDF417 Barcode Reading SDK/ActiveX toolkit
is a robust and efficient 2D PDF417
library of reading/decoding,
searching barcodes, and detecting barcode orientation
functions.
PDF417,
or Portable Data File 417, is a two-dimensional
stacked bar code capable of encoding over a kilobyte
of data per label. This is useful for situations
when a bar code will be used to store a substantial
amount of data about an item, allowing developers
to avoid database interaction. Since a PDF417 barcode
symbol can store a substantial amount of information,
item specific data, such as the content of a shipping
manifest or equipment maintenance history, can be
stored directly on the item, without requiring access
to a database.
PDF417
is an error-correcting symbology designed for real-world
applications where portions of labels can get destroyed
in handling. PDF417 reading/decoding performs error
correction by making calculations to reconstruct
corrupted or undecoded portions of the symbol.
Developers can read barcodes
regardless of orientation, skewing or flipping.
Barcodes can be detected and read from specific
areas of interest. When combined with additional
Black Ice Imaging toolkits, barcodes can be read
from a variety of supported image file formats and
can be acquired from scanners or digital cameras.
The
Black Ice PDF417 Barcode Reading SDK/ActiveX toolkit
is written to be image toolkit independent, and
can be used with any Black Ice imaging toolkit,
such as the
TIFF SDK/ActiveX, the
Image SDK/ActiveX, or the
Document Imaging SDK/ActiveX. The PDF417
Barcode Reading SDK/ActiveX can also be used with
any third party imaging platform.
Sample
Applications:
The PDF417 Barcode SDK/ActiveX
contains a variety of sample applications, which
demonstrate the capabilities and features of the
toolkit. The product is fully .NET compatible and
also provides sample source code written in C#,
VB.NET, and J# to demonstrate the powerful document
conversion options.
