LEADTOOLS MicroPDF417 SDK
LEADTOOLS 2D Barcode SDK technology seamlessly integrates the creation,
detection and decoding of MicroPDF417 as well as other 2D barcode symbols
with advanced LEADTOOLS Imaging SDK technology. LEADTOOLS is the most
advanced and comprehensive imaging SDK available and is LEADing the industry
with high speed, yet very accurate 1D and 2D barcode read and write for over
100 different barcode types and sub-types.
MicroPDF417 is a 2D barcode based on PDF417. MicroPDF417 is designed to encode a moderate amount of data into a very compact symbol. MicroPDF417 offers more data storage than linear (1D) barcodes, up to 150 binary, 250 alphanumeric or 366 numeric digits, and includes an Error Correction Code (ECC) for error-free reading even when a symbol is partially lost or destroyed. MicroPDF417 can be used in conjunction with GS1 linear barcodes to create composite barcodes.
Overview
of LEADTOOLS MicroPDF417 SDK Technology
- MicroPDF417 is available as .NET classes, C DLL, C++ classes, .NET Compact Framework, WCF services and WF activities.
- Add MicroPDF417 technology to single and multi-threaded applications including IIS and Windows WF hosted applications.
- Native 32 and 64 bit MicroPDF417 binaries.
- Find MicroPDF417 in entire image or specific region of interest.
- MicroPDF417 technology integrates seamlessly with Forms Recognition and Processing technology.
- Read multiple barcodes of varying types in any orientation.
- High speed MicroPDF417 detection and decoding.
- Images can come from any source including file, memory, Internet, and SharePoint.
- Bitonal and color MicroPDF417 barcodes.
- MicroPDF417 data returned with 100% confidence.
- Uses Error Correction Code (ECC) to fix damaged barcode symbols.
- Store up to 150 byte, 250 alphanumeric, or 366 numeric digits in one barcode MicroPDF417 barcode.
- Code 128 emulation code words signal the decoder to return the data as if it were encoded as a Code128 symbol.
Composite MicroPDF417 Barcodes
MicroPDF417 can be used in conjunction with GS1 DataBar barcodes to
create Composite Code B barcodes. A GS1 Composite barcode is a group of two
barcodes, one linear and one 2 dimensional. The linear barcode usually
contains the primary data, while the 2D barcode contains related
supplementary data such as expiration date and product weight.
GS1 Composite Code A barcodes consist of either a EAN8, EAN13, UPC-A, UPC-E
or GS1 DataBar symbol and a MicroPDF417 symbol.
Major Types of 2D Barcodes
- LEADTOOLS Barcode SDK Modules are the most comprehensive barcode toolkits on the market, supporting both reading and writing of over 100 barcode types and sub-types, including all major 1D and 2D barcodes.
- LEADTOOLS offers the fastest barcode recognition speed. LEADTOOLS Barcode SDK Modules can recognize barcodes faster than other commercial engines. Our superior speed reduces "bottle neck" issues in high speed scanning applications. In addition, you can maximize the benefits of today's high speed processors.
- LEADTOOLS is designed to allow our developers to add new barcode types and barcode "flavors" rapidly. If you find a barcode that we cannot recognize, we will be able to update our engine quickly to add the barcode type.
- LEADTOOLS Barcode SDK Modules can be added on to or are included in LEADTOOLS Document Imaging SDKs. These products include powerful document image processing and enhancement technology to clean noisy or damaged images to improve barcode and OCR accuracy.
- Integrating barcode functionality into your application is very easy - one function to read barcodes and one function to write barcodes. We have sample applications with source code ready for you to cut and paste into your project.
- LEADTOOLS Barcode SDK Modules support both bitonal and color barcode images.
- LEADTOOLS has optimized and trained our barcode engines to provide very high accuracy even on poor quality images. The better the accuracy, the less human interaction that is required resulting in substantial savings of time and money.
- LEADTOOLS offers several other toolkits that can be integrated with the Barcode SDK Modules. These SDKs include many additional imaging features such as extensive image file format support for reading and writing several raster, vector, and document file types, numerous image processing routines, document image clean-up, annotation, compression, scanning, medical imaging components, multimedia components, and mobile device support.
