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.

 

Java PDF 417 Generator - Valid Data Scope

Java PDF 417 Generator encodes:

• all 128 characters of ASCII
  
  
• values 128-255 in accordance with ISO 8859-1. There are referred to as extended ASCII

 

1. How to generate barcode PDF-417 in Java class?

   // Create Java PDF417 object 
   PDF417 barcode = new PDF417(); 
   
   // Set PDF417 data text to encode
   barcode.setData("PDF417-IN-JAVA"); 
   
   // Generate PDF417 barcode & print into Graphics2D object
   barcode.drawBarcode("Java Graphics2D object"); 
   
   // Generate PDF417 barcode & encode into GIF format
   barcode.drawBarcode("C://barcode-pdf417.gif"); 
   
   // Generate PDF417 barcode & encode into JPEG format
   barcode.drawBarcode("C://barcode-pdf417.jpg"); 
   
   

   
   
   

2. How to generate & encode PDF-417 barcodes to EPS?

   // Create Java PDF417 object 
   PDF417 barcode = new PDF417(); 
   
   // Set PDF417 data text to encode
   barcode.setData("Create PDF417 in EPS"); 
   
   // Generate PDF417 barcode & encode into EPS
   barcode.drawBarcode2EPS("C://barcode-pdf417.eps"); 

   
   
   

3. How to create & encode PDF-417 image in html or jsp pages?

   
   
   
   • Under demo package, copy barcode folder and its contents to your tomcat.
     
     
   • Start tomcat, navigate to http://YourDomain:Port/barcode/pdf417?DATA=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/pdf417?DATA=PDF417" />
     
     
   
   
   

4. How to create & print barcode PDF-417 image in Java Servlet class?

   import com.onbarcode.barcode.AbstractBarcode; 
   import com.onbarcode.barcode.PDF417; 
   import javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet; 
   import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest; 
   import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse; 
   import javax.servlet.ServletException; 
   import javax.servlet.ServletOutputStream; 
      
   public class BarcodeServlet extends HttpServlet 
   { 
       public void doGet(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws ServletException 
       { 
           try { 
               PDF417 barcode = new PDF417(); 
               barcode.setData("PDF417"); 
                    
               ServletOutputStream servletoutputstream = response.getOutputStream(); 
                 
               response.setContentType("image/jpeg"); 
               response.setHeader("Pragma", "no-cache"); 
               response.setHeader("Cache-Control", "no-cache"); 
               response.setDateHeader("Expires", 0); 
              
               // Generate PDF-417 barcode & output to ServletOutputStream
               barcode.drawBarcode(servletoutputstream); 
         
           } catch (Exception e) { 
               throw new ServletException(e); 
           } 
       } 
   }
