PDF417 barcodes are used in a variety of industries and applications, such as identification cards, driver's license, airline boarding pass, transport, and inventory management.

Using SQL Server Reporting Services Barcode Generator library, you can quickly create, print and insert PDF417 barcodes in SSRS reports in Visual Studio ASP.NET Core, WinForms projects.

What is the maximum capacity of a PDF417?

According to PDF standard (ISO/IEC 15438), the maximum number of characters encodable in a PDF417 barcode with lowest error correction level (0).
  • Text Compaction mode: 1,850 characters
  • Byte Compaction mode: 1,108 characters
  • Numeric Compaction mode: 2,710 characters
We recommend you to choose PDF417 data mode as auto mode, the SQL Server Reporting Services barcode library will automatically process the PDF417 encoding text characters and choose the right PDF417 data modes, and print PDF417 on SSRS report viewer in Visual Studio .NET IDE.

What is the aspect ratio of a PDF417?

The aspect ratio of the printed PDF417 barcode shall be defined by two dimensions:
  • X: set the dimension width of the narrowest bar and narrowest space.
  • Y: set the dimension height of the narrowest bar and narrowest space.
An aspect ratio of 2 means that the barcode's bar height (Y) is twice its width. The valid values of aspect ratio is from 2 to 3 (inclusive). In SQL Server Reporting Services report designer, you can apply the aspect ratio of PDF417 through properties X and Y.

What is the difference between a PDF417 and a QR Code?

PDF417 and QR Code are both 2D or matrix barcode symbologies. PDF417 is a barcode with linear rows of stacked codewords, and QR Code usually consists of black squares arranged in a square grid on a white background.

PDF417 can be scannable even if up to 50% of it is damaged. QR Code can accept up to 30% damages. SQL Server Reporting Services Barcode library supports both PDF417 and QR Code 2d barcode generations in SSRS report designer and report viewer in Windows Forms, ASP.NET Core web and Windows applications.
