Hi, We are integrate pdf417 in our project to scan US driving license but it is not scanning though it is in pdf417 format. any lead or should we purchase license for it ? Thanks, Bhavin |
commented Feb 21, 2014
Hello Bhavin, can you please tell us more about the conditions, device and barcode? Are lighting conditions good? Which device are you using? Is PDF417 barcode large (i.e. contains more than 10 columns). For scanning large barcodes, device with high quality camera is required (at least 720p, preferably 1080p video resolution). Can you please send us the high resolution images/scans of barcode you are trying to scan so we can identify the problem. Thank you for your report, Nenad |

Hi DoDoENT, This is condition,device information: https://gist.github.com/lanetteam-bhavin/9134696 and I am trying to scan image is below: It is scanning successfully in iphone using same image and I am getting data like this: https://gist.github.com/lanetteam-bhavin/9134757 Is anyway to decode this data ? Thanks, Bhavin. |

Hi Bhavin, the image you have sent to us has got too low resolution to be successfully read. Based on data you've sent us, we regenerated the high resolution image of the same barcode (available here). This high resolution image can be read with device that has got 480p video preview (Samsung Galaxy Ace). If a device does not support video preview of at least 640x480 resolution (preferably 1280x720), device will not be able to read such large barcodes. In order to successfully read the PDF417 barcode, each dot in barcode must be at least 1.5 pixels large in image. Best regards, Nenad |

Hi Nenad, I am able to scan with the barcode you regenerated. And I got the data like this: https://gist.github.com/lanetteam-bhavin/9134757 Is there any way to decode this data? Thanks, Bhavin |

Hello Bhavin, if I understood correctly you were able to scan the barcode and obtain a string that is written inside barcode? Our library just scans the barcode and returns its contents. The user of the library is responsible to interpret/decode the barcode data as they wish. Please note that we are currently preparing a parser for US driver's license PDF417 format and it should be available for purchase in the following months. Our free non-commercial version of the library just returns the data that is contained inside the barcode - it does not perform any additional parsing logic on the data. For more information about our library, please visit http://pdf417.mobi/ Best regards, Nenad |

Hello Nenad, Thank you very much for your help and let me know once the parser is being available to purchase. Best regards, Bhavin |

@DoDoENT can you explain how it is you regenerated the same barcode for @lanetteam-bhavin? Was it through any sort of image manipulation (sharpening, etc?) |

@rmhrisk I used this barcode generator |

I would like to generate a 2d barcode (PDF417 or QR codes) in an Excel cell using macros. Just wondering is there any free alternatives to paid libraries to do this?
I know certain tools can do the job but it is relatively expensive to us.

The VBA module barcode-vba-macro-only (mentioned by Sébastien Ferry in the comments) is a pure VBA 1D/2D code generator created by Jiri Gabriel under MIT License in 2013.
The code isn't completely simple to understand, but many comments have been translated from Czech to English in the version linked above.
To use it in a worksheet, just copy or import barcody.bas into your VBA in a module. In a worksheet, put in the function like this:
The usage is as follows:
- Leave the
CELL('SHEET)
andCELL('ADDRESS')
as they are since it'sjust giving reference to the worksheet and cell address you have theformula- A2 is the cell that you have your string to be encoded. In my case it's cell A2 You can pass 'Text' with quotes to do the same. Having the cell makes it more dynamic
- 51 is the option for QR Code. Other options are 1=EAN8/13/UPCA/UPCE, 2=two of five interleaved, 3=Code39, 50=DataMatrix, 51=QRCode
- 1 is for graphical mode. The barcode is drawn on a Shape object. 0 for font mode. I assume you need to have the font type installed.Not as useful.
- 0 is the parameter for the particular barcode type. For QR_Code, 0=Low Error Correction, 1=Medium Error Correction, 2=Quartile errorcorrection, 3=high error correction.
- 2 only applies to 1D codes. It's the buffer zones. I'm not certain what it does exactly but probably something to do with the1D bar spaces?
I added wrapper functions to make it a pure VBA function call rather than using it as a formula in a worksheet:
With this wrapper, you can now simply call to render QRCode by calling this in VBA:
Pdf417 Barcode Generator Fake Id
Free Pdf417 Barcode Generator
Just input the worksheet name, cell location, and the QR_value. The QR shape will get drawn at the location you specified.
You can play around with this section of the code to change the size of the QR

I know this is quite an old and well-established post (though the very good existing answer has not been accepted yet), but I would like to share an alternative that I prepared for a similar post in StackOverflow in Portuguese using the free online API from QR Code Generator.
The code is the following:
It gets the job done by simply (re)creating an image from the URL built from the parameters in the cells. Naturally, the user must be connected to the Internet.
For example (the worksheet, with contents in Brazilian Portuguese, can be downloaded from 4Shared):
