Generating PDF-417 barcode in Java class example:

	PDF417 barcode = new PDF417();
	
	/*
	   PDF-417 Valid data char set:
	       1. Text Compaction mode permits all printable ASCII characters to be encoded,
	        i.e. values 32 - 126 inclusive in accordance with ISO/IEC 646 (IRV),
	        as well as selected control characters.
	       2. Byte Compaction mode permits all 256 possible 8-bit byte values to be encoded.
	        This includes all ASCII characters value 0 to 127 inclusive and provides for international character set support.
	       3. Numeric Compaction mode permits efficient encoding of numeric data strings.
	       4. Up to 811 800 different character sets or data interpretations.
	       5. Various function codewords for control purposes.
