PDF417 is a high-capacity two dimensional bar code. A PDF417 symbol can hold approximately 2000 characters of information, whereas a traditional linear bar code has difficulty holding more than 30 characters. The key characteristic of PDF417 bar code technology is its large information capacity. PDF417 is designed with enough capacity to contain an entire data file of information.

With a PDF417 bar code, no external database access is needed, because the PDF417 2D bar code symbol can hold all the information needed in an entire portable data file. Our bar code software module reads the information contained in the bar code and embeds the information into our electronic label.
