Java Barcode PDF-417 Generator Introduction
Top
Java Barcode is a Java barcode generator which generates high quality 1D (linear) and 2D (matrix) barcodes in Java, Jasper Reports, iReport, and Eclipse BIRT projects.

Barcode PDF-417 Introduction

PDF 417 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. The PDF417 symbology was invented by Dr. Ynjiun P. Wang at Symbol Technologies in 1991.

How to Create PDF 417 Image in Html or JSP Pages?
Top
  • Under demo package, copy barcode folder and its contents to your tomcat.
  • Start tomcat, navigate to http://YourDomain:Port/barcode/barcode?DATA=PDF417EncodingData&TYPE=pdf417
  • 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" />
