Hi there,
We're using itext's 'BarcodePDF417' class with the purpose of being able to
generate PDF417 marks of a zip file, containing a plain/text file.
- While testing plain/text files, everything works fine, both printable ascii
characters and special ones (ÁÉÍÓÚÑ, etc) are read by our scanner 'Symbol P
300STD/FZY/PRO Scanner'.
- However, when using zips we're in the need of activating the binary compact
mode, in order to read it correctly with our reader.
<pre>
currentBarcode.setOptions(BarcodePDF417.PDF417_FORCE_BINARY);
</pre>
This works fine with one segment, but for larger files we're in the need of
activating the macro mode too (to be able to read multiple segments in
different order)
<pre>
currentBarcode.setOptions(BarcodePDF417.PDF417_FORCE_BINARY |
BarcodePDF417.PDF417_USE_MACRO);
</pre>
Now, this does not seem to work correctly when using more than one segment.
After some digging looking at the source code of 'BarcodePDF417' class we've
found this javadoc
<pre>
/**
* One single binary segment is used
*/
public static final int PDF417_FORCE_BINARY = 32;
</pre>
So, the question, is itext able to generate pdf417 barcodes with both binary
and macro modes, generating more than one segment?
If no, is there any chance it will get it done in the future? What other
options (libraries) do you recommend to achieve this?
Thx in advance.
