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.  Details on using the PDF417 Barcode samples
