C# Sample code
BarCode pdf417 = new BarCode();
pdf417.Symbology= KeepAutomation.Barcode.Symbology.PDF417;
pdf417.CodeToEncode = "PDF417";
pdf417.X = 3;
pdf417.Y = 3;
pdf417.generateBarcodeToImageFile("C://barcode-pdf417-csharp.gif"); VB Sample code
Dim pdf417 As KeepAutomation.Barcode.Bean.BarCode = New KeepAutomation.Barcode.Bean.BarCode

How to Generate PDF-417 with Data Mode & ECL in .NET WinForms
The character set of PDF-417 contains three compactions: text compaction (ASCII 0 - 255), byte compaction (ASCII 9, 10, 13 & 32 - 127), and numeric compaction (digits 0 - 9). Barcode SDK for WinForms adds "Auto" data mode for easy generation. Users may set "PDF417DataMode" property to customize data modes. PDF-417 error correction is based on Reed-Solomon algorithm. It has 8 levels of error correction. User is able to customize it using "PDF417ECL" property. C# Sample code
pdf417.PDF417DataMode = KeepAutomation.Barcode.PDF417DataMode.Auto;
pdf417.PDF417ECL = KeepAutomation.Barcode.PDF417ECL.ECL_1; VB Sample code
pdf417.PDF417DataMode = KeepAutomation.Barcode.PDF417DataMode.Auto
pdf417.PDF417ECL = KeepAutomation.Barcode.PDF417ECL.ECL_1
How to Generate PDF-417 with Row & Column Count in .NET WinForms
Row count means the number of rows for PDF417. The value range is from 3 to 90. While column count means number of columns.The value range is from 1 to 30. The default is 5. The PDF-417 size may be changed by adjusting the "PDF417RowCount" and "PDF417ColumnCount" settings. C# Sample code
pdf417.PDF417RowCount = 5;
pdf417.PDF417ColumnCount = 3; VB Sample code
pdf417.PDF417RowCount = 5
pdf417.PDF417ColumnCount = 3
