PDF417 barcode is one of the earliest and most widely used 2-dimensional barcode. It is a stacked barcode composed of rows of linear barcode. Being a 2-dimensional barcode allows it to carry more information than the 1-dimensional barcodes.
"PDF" stands for Portable Data File. The "417" derives from the fact that each encoded codeword in the barcode is represented by four bars and four spaces. The total width of each codeword is 17-module wide and thus the "17" in the name.
