What is PDF417 Barcode?

The PDF417 code is a two-dimensional barcode that is capable of storing large amounts of data in a small space. It was first developed by Symbol Technologies in 1991 and has since become a popular format for encoding data in a variety of industries, including transportation, logistics, and healthcare. One of the key features of the PDF417 code is its high data capacity. It can store up to 1.1 kilobytes of data in a single code, which is significantly more than traditional linear barcodes. This makes it a useful tool for applications where large amounts of data need to be encoded in a small space, such as on shipping labels or identification cards. Another advantage of the PDF417 code is its ability to encode both text and binary data. This means that it can be used to store a wide range of information, from simple product codes to complex medical records. In addition to its high data capacity and flexibility, the PDF417 code is also highly reliable. It includes error correction algorithms that can detect and correct errors caused by dirt, scratches, or other forms of damage.
