Java PDF-417 generator is a mature and reliable Java barcode generation component for creating PDF-417barcodes in Java, Jasper Reports, iReport, and Eclipse BIRT projects. High-quality PDF-417 barcode images can be drawn and printed into GIF, BMP, PNG, JPEG/JPG & TIFF formats with Java PDF-417 barcode generator. Rich barcode options are provided to customize PDF-417 barcode properties in accordance with your needs.

PDF-417information: PDF-417:one of 2 dimensional barcode symbologies, was developed by Dr. Ynjiun P. Wang at Symbol Technologies in 1991 and belongs to Motorola today. It is widely used in various applications, such as transport, identification cards, and inventory management. Available encoding data: numeric digits: 0-9 The structure of a PDF-417: 1. A quiet zone: a mandated minimum amount of white space before the bar code begins. 2. A start pattern: identifies the format as PDF417. 3. A "row left" codeword: containing information about the row (such as the row number and error correction level) 4. 1-30 data codewords: Codewords are a group of bars and spaces representing one or more numbers, letters, or other symbols. 5. A "row right" codeword with more information about the row. 6. A stop pattern. 7. A quiet zone. Note that all rows are the same width; each row has the same number of codewords.

1. Generate PDF-417 in Java class with the changing of barcode properties.

// Create Java PDF417 object
PDF417 barcode = new PDF417();

// Set PDF417 data text to encode
barcode.setData("PDF417-IN-JAVA");

// Generate PDF417 barcode & print into Graphics2D object
barcode.drawBarcode("Java Graphics2D object");

// Generate PDF417 barcode & encode into GIF format
barcode.drawBarcode("C://barcode-pdf417.gif");

// Generate PDF417 barcode & encode into JPEG format
barcode.drawBarcode("C://barcode-pdf417.jpg");

2. Generate & encode PDF-417 to EPS with changing the values concerned.

// Create Java PDF417 object
PDF417 barcode = new PDF417();

// Set PDF417 data text to encode
barcode.setData("Create PDF417 in EPS");

// Generate PDF417 barcode & encode into EPS
barcode.drawBarcode2EPS("C://barcode-pdf417.eps");

 

3. Generate & encode PDF-417 in html or jsp pages.

1. Under demo package, copy barcode folder and its contents to your tomcat.

2. Start tomcat, navigate to http://YourDomain:Port/barcode/barcode?DATA=PDF417EncodingData&TYPE=pdf417

3. To create bar code images in html or jsp pages, you can insert a image tag (img) into your page.

For example, <img src="http://YourDomain:Port/barcode/barcode?DATA=PDF417EncodingData&TYPE=pdf417" />

 

4. Two ways to set the width and height of generated barcode PDF-417 image.

1. Set the values of the barcodeWidth and barcodeHeight properties.
or
2. Set X (bar module width) and Y (bar module height) values

PDF-417 Basic Settings
