The PDF417 Font and Encoder software allows printing of high-density PDF417 barcodes using TrueType, PCL, and PostScript fonts, with features including ActiveX Control, Windows DLL, Java Library, .NET DLL, and new native Access and Crystal formulas.

A recent update to the software package also includes a Native VB module for Visual Basic, Excel and Access, a Native Crystal Reports Formula and a Native Javascript Font Encoder. This advanced PDF417 font uses IDAutomation Vertical Interleaved Technology to increase throughput and support printing with small sizes.
The PDF417 font is implemented as both an encoder and font. The encoder converts the data to encode into proper bar and space patterns formatted to the PDF417 barcode font. The encoder then returns a text string that, when printed or displayed as the PDF417 font, creates the PDF417 symbol. This software package is perfect for those who need to create high density barcode labels and want a comprehensive solution with full support for a variety of programming languages and software applications.
Version 8.1: A new licensed version of the PDF417 Font and Encoder has been released that includes a Native JavaScript Module which is a complete encoder function.
Version 7.3: A new version of the PDF417 Font and Encoder has been released that includes a Native VB Module for Visual Basic, Excel and Access, which is a complete encoder function. Macro PDF417 capabilities have also been added.
