Java PDF 417 generator supports all PDF 417 size related solution to specify the PDF 417 images generated in Java. After purchasing the PDF 417 generator for Java, please install and set up it, then copy the following code into your Java IntelliJ IDEA:

      PDF417 barcode = new PDF417();

      barcode.setData("Java PDF 417");

Then, modify the following properties you may need:

How to Change the Overall size of Java PDF 417 - Uom

      barcode.setUom(IBarcode.UOM_PIXEL);

How to Change the Width of PDF 417 with Java

      barcode.setX(1f);

      barcode.setLeftMargin(0f);

      barcode.setRightMargin(0f);

During setting the PDF 417 width with the above properties, you need to pay attention that after you set a fixed bar width (X), an auto barcode width - minimum barcode width will be set in Java applications. However, if the set barcodeWidth value is less than the minimum barcode width, the created PDF 417 image width in Java will be the minimum value. If the set barcodeWith is larger than the minimum one, the extra width will be added on the right and left margins in Java.

      barcode.setY(75f);

      barcode.setTopMargin(0f);

      barcode.setBottomMargin(0f);
