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
