PDF417 barcode: is a common two-dimensional barcode used to encode large amounts of data. Its acronym is Portable Data File, and 4 and 17 are added to get the number 417. Here 4 is four grids and four grids, and 17 is the number of modules in the codeword.
As mentioned above, PDF417 is a widely used barcode along with QR Code, Maxi Code and Data Matrix. PDF417 looks like a hybrid of classic linear and matrix barcodes, but it is actually a complex linear code. Along the edges it has bars, like in normal linear code, and in the middle, bars line up on top of another line. It turns out that this compression of the linear code is due to the arrangement of the bars of the code one above the other. This allows you to store large amounts of information - from 3 to 90 bars, where you can encode up to 1859 alpha characters or 2725 numeric characters.
Code corruption protection provides redundancy to cover up to 50% of the code. This is a very high number, but also increases the size of the code. Compared with matrix codes, PDF417 takes up several times more space when encoding the same amount of information, which can be said to be a disadvantage.
The scope of PDF417 is quite broad. It is used for: transportation companies to print passenger tickets and cargo shipments, mail, report documents, various ID cards, warehouse accounting, and many other fields that require labeling and identification.
To read this barcode, laser scanners are required, which are slightly different from traditional line code scanners. As mentioned above, there are normal lines on both sides of the code, which is typical of linear barcodes. They are needed to identify the start and end of a code.
To add a PDF417 barcode to a report page, use the Barcode object on the Components sidebar in the Report Designer and select PDF417:
Now you can place barcodes on report pages. To edit it, double-click the added object, or call the context menu and select "Edit...". Afterwards the barcode editing window will appear:
In the added Barcode Object Properties inspector, you can use the ShowText property to turn off the display of the text below the code.
