PDF417 Barcode Types Supported

In addition to PDF417, this package supports MacroPDF, which allows additional data to be encoded by dividing the data into multiple symbols, as well as Truncated PDF, which decreases the horizontal size of the symbol by two columns. MicroPDF417 is similar to PDF417, although it is only provided in a limited selection of IDAutomation products.

"IDAutomation offered the only product on the market that could produce AAMVA PDF417 barcodes correctly."

Advanced PDF417 Font Design

This PDF417 font uses IDAutomation Vertical Interleaved Technology™ to provide improved performance and printing at a smaller X dimension than competitor's products. The design of the font allows accurate printing from any point size when used with compatible scanners and printers. The font should be printed at 8 to 12 points for most applications.

Multiple Encoders Provided

PDF417 Font Encoders

Using a font or graphic encoder is necessary due to the complexity of the PDF417 symbology. Font encoders return a special text string, which will create a readable PDF417 barcode when combined with the appropriate PDF417 font. The PDF417 Barcode Font Encoder for Windows Tutorial provides steps to accomplish this task. This includes a variety of different fonts and graphics encoders for maximum application flexibility. The following chart summarizes how each type of encoder works:
