PDF-417 Barcode Creator for Java Introduction
PDF-417 barcode generator for Java can help users create professional PDF-417 barcodes in Java class. Users can reset the barcode size through changing the properties of barcode width and barcode height. Many other barcode settings are also provided.
PDF-417 Barcode Overview in Java
PDF417 is a continuous 2D symbology which is invented by Dr. Ynjiun P. Wang at Symbol Technologies in 1991. It is primarily used in transport, identification cards and inventory management.
PDF-417 Encodable Characters in Java
- Auto: KeepAutomation will select proper data format according to input data
- Text: each codeword represents one or two characters
- Byte: each group of 5 codewords represents 6 bytes
- Numeric: groups of up to 15 codewords represent as many as 44 decimal digits
PDF 417, also known as Portable Data File 417, PDF 417, PDF417 Truncated, is a stacked linear bar code symbol used in a variety of applications,
primarily transport, identification cards, and inventory management. PDF stands for Portable Data File.
In Java barcode generator library, you can not only generate PDF417 2d barcodes in Java class, but also
other 2d barcodes, such as
generating QR Code,
creating Data Matrix,
and most common linear barcode types in Java, such as
generating Code 39,
generating Code 128,
creating EAN-13,
creating UPC-A in Java program.
PDF-417 Character Set Encoding in Java
PDF-417 encodable characters
PDF417 format supports the following character set and compact modes
- Text Compaction mode permits all printable ASCII characters to be encoded
- Byte Compaction mode permits all 256 possible 8-bit byte values to be encoded
- Numeric Compaction mode permits efficient encoding of numeric data strings.
- Up to 811,800 different character sets or data interpretations
- Several function codewords for control purposes.
PDF-417 maximum data length in Java
Maximum possible number of characters a PDF417 barcode (at error correction level 0).
- Text Compaction mode: 1,850 characters
- Byte Compaction mode: 1,108 characters
- Numeric Compaction mode: 2,710 characters
PDF417 symbol size in Java
- Number of rows: 3 to 90
- Number of columns: 1 to 30
Using Java PDF417 barcode generator API, you need use method setPdf417RowCount() to set the number of rows,
call method setPdf417ColumnCount() to set the number of columns in PDF417 generation in Java class.
PDF-417 Data Mode in Java
PDF417 has defined three high level data encoding modes, each of which defines a particular efficient data encoding.
- Text Compaction mode
- Byte Compaction mode
- Numeric Compaction mode
In Java class, you could specify the PDF data mode using method setPdf417DataMode().
