Pdf417Options

The default setting. Only standard PDF417 barcodes are detected and decoded, with no special handling for truncated or macro symbols.

Use this value for standard-compliant PDF417 barcodes.

If enabled, the reader will search for truncated PDF417 barcodes, which use less area by omitting the right-hand side of the symbol.

Usage and Configuration

• Enable for documents or labels that use truncated PDF417 barcodes to save space.
• Disabling restricts detection to full-size PDF417 symbols.

Impact

• Increases detection of space-saving barcode formats.
• May increase processing time or false positives in cluttered images.

Use when truncated PDF417 barcodes are expected in your workflow.

If enabled, the reader applies additional routines to more accurately locate and define the boundaries of individual blocks or strips within PDF417 barcodes.

Usage and Configuration

• Enable for documents where PDF417 barcodes are partially obscured, damaged, or have irregular boundaries.
• Disabling uses standard boundary detection.

Impact

• Improves detection accuracy in challenging or degraded images.
• May increase processing time.

Use when standard detection fails to accurately locate PDF417 barcodes.

If enabled, the reader will extract and output data from the Macro PDF417 header at the end of the barcode, when such a header is present.

Usage and Configuration

• Enable when Macro PDF417 barcodes are used to encode additional metadata or document structure.
• Disabling ignores macro header data.

Impact

• Provides access to additional information encoded in Macro PDF417 barcodes.
• May increase output data size.

Use when macro header data is required for downstream processing.
