The PDF417 barcode is a two-dimensional (2D), high-density symbology capable of encoding text, numbers, files and actual data bytes. This FAQ provides information and answers to commonly asked questions. • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • PDF417 Barcode Overview Large amounts of text and data can be stored securely and inexpensively when using the PDF417 barcode symbology. The printed symbol consists of several linear rows of stacked codewords. Each codeword represents 1 of 929 possible values from one of three different clusters.

A different cluster is chosen for each row, repeating after every three rows. Because the codewords in each cluster are unique, the scanner is able to determine what line each cluster is from. PDF417 Error Correction Levels PDF417 uses Reed Solomon error correction instead of check digits.

This error correction allows the symbol to endure some damage without causing loss of data. AIM standards recommend a minimum error correction level of 2. The error correction level depends on the amount of data that needs to be encoded, the size and the amount of symbol damage that could occur. The error correction levels range from 0 to 8.

The chart below indicates the number of error correction codewords that are added to the printed symbol and AIM recommendations for the EC level. 1: AIM recommended EC levels EC Level 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 EC Codewords Generated 2 4 6 8 16 32 64 128 512 Data Codewords 1-40 41-160 161-320 321-863 Data Bytes Encoded 1-56 57-192 193-384 385-1035 X and Y Dimensions • The X dimension is the width of the narrowest bar in a printed codeword. The Y dimension is the height of each row within the PDF417 symbol. The PDF417 barcode is usually printed at an X to Y ratio of 1:2 to 1:5, with 1:3 being the most popular. By lowering the ratio, a significant amount of space can be saved; however, some scanners cannot read X to Y ratios of less than 1:3. Most scanners, such as the, read PDF417 barcodes well at 1:3. When creating symbols with more than 10 columns, IDAutomation recommends using a ratio of 1:4 or 1:5.

Row and Column Limits • The number of rows and columns can be selected, allowing the symbol to be created in various forms. However, the PDF417 barcode symbol is limited to 30 columns and 90 rows. Keep in mind when selecting columns, only the number of data columns in the symbol are being selected.

The normal PDF417 barcode symbol has two row start columns and two row stop columns. Truncated PDF417 contains only two row start columns. Some scanners and decoders cannot dependably read over 20 columns. Truncated PDF417 • A truncated PDF417 symbol uses less area than the normal PDF417 barcode. By selecting this option, the right hand side of the symbol is removed or truncated. This option should be used primarily in a clean environment, since it is more susceptible to damage. Generating and Printing The is a that generate PDF417 symbols as graphics or as a font.

All of our PDF417 products were created from ISO/IEC 15438. IDAutomation also offers new patent-pending Native Barcode Generators for, and that create PDF417 without any plug-ins or fonts. Are also available that offer one or more integration options. These options may be examined to determine the best implementation method. A few of the guides offered include the following: • • • • • • • • Measuring X & Y Dimensions of a Printed Barcode Barcode products generate images according to the pixels of the target device thereby creating an image difference.

Consequently, it may be necessary to check the X or Y dimensions. Images and symbol sizes may differ slightly with various screen resolutions and printers. To find the printed Y dimension • Print a PDF417 barcode symbol with exactly 10 rows. • To obtain 10 rows, choose 5 columns, an error correction of 2 and print the text of “IDAutomation.com, Inc. PDF417 ActiveX Control” with binary encoding. • Measure the distance from the top of the symbol to the bottom and divide by 10. • Example: if 10 rows measured.425 inches, then.425″ divided by 10 equals.0425″, giving a Y dimension of 42 mils per row.

To find the printed X dimension • Measure 6 or more columns, but do not include the start and stop columns in the measurement, divide this number by the number of columns measured, then by 17. The result is the X dimension. • Example: if 6 columns measure.875″, divide.875″ by 6, which equals.14583″ per column.
