This is professional True Type (TTF) PDF417 Barcode Font package that is designed for use in Modern operating systems. It allows you to create the PDF417 barcode by selecting a font in your favourite text editor or reporting tool.
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.
