I suspect that the problem is the lack of resolution of the image you are feeding to CAPTIVA. What exactly is your process?

Besides pixel ratio is there any other settings I can adjust to help improve the read rate?

It may be used to calibrate the CAPTIVA.

I changed the ratio to 45 and that did the trick. It did make the barcode pretty big but I will keep experimenting until we get something that is more user friendly. Thank you for the quick responses and the assistance, much appreciated.

Better yet, post the code to create the pdf. The iText PDF417 implementation is well tested and used in production in my company, so it should work.

We only have a document scanner, so the option to use a handheld is out of the question. Changed the pixel ratio using the following code but Barcode (pdf417.setYHeight(3);) was still unreadable. Do you have any other suggestions or am I trying to do something which is not possible.

I am using the sample code from iText to generate a PDF417 barcode, however our Imaging group has not been able to read the code I have created. Are there any special settings I need to set for the code to ensure it can be read using the CAPTIVA imaging solution? Thanks in advance.
