If you use: BarcodePDF417.Text = byte[];
you'll have binary values. BarcodePDF417.PDF417_FORCE_BINARY only forces one type of encoding and the symbol can be shorter (for an image, for example) but it will also work witout it. That option is there for the benefit of some readers.

Hi, I want to write data in pdf417 using the binary mode because i want to save an image inside. I try with pdf.Options = BarcodePDF417.PDF417_FORCE_BINARY; and later when i read the it i get the value 63(?) in ascii if the corresponding value of byte is bigger than 128. I suppose it is happen because the pdf object have the text mode and not binary. Can you give me some hint? Thanks you very much in advantage.
