Applet RBarcode 2D, PDF417 barcodes for java

 

The package RBarCode 2D contains an applet and a java class (click here if are looking for an ActiveX) that will allow you to create PDF417 barcodes for you java applications or HTML pages.

PDF stands for “Portable Data File.” A two-dimensional symbology (2D), a single PDF417 symbol carries up to 1.1 kilobytes of machine-readable data in a space no larger than a standard bar code. And, unlike one-dimensional bar codes (1D), which are just a key linked to a database, PDF417 symbols contain the database itself. That means, you don't have to store an article number in the barcode but you can also store the name , the size , the color, the name of the manufacturer etc...
