About PDF417 Barcodes
What is a PDF417?
PDF417 looks like a standard barcode that has been stacked on top of itself. This format can hold a large amount of information, like a "portable data file."
Common Use Cases
Used on some U.S. driver's licenses, on airline boarding passes, and on shipping labels by companies like FedEx for storing package information.
Helpful Information
Can encode any standard character and hold over a kilobyte of data, far more than a normal barcode. If you need to store even more data in a smaller area, you might look at a QR Code.
