PDF417 is often referred to as a stacked 1D barcode. Like Data Matrix it uses an error correction scheme and allows for encoding binary data.

An example PDF417:

If using the 1D/2D Standard or 1D/2D Professional editions, 2D writes are supported for PDF417 using an external application. Typically this can be done using the ImagXpress control or by writing to a Printer Device Context. The external application will set the barcode writing parameters and make a call to the Create method. The output image will then be available in the image properties.

Included features to use for this functionality are:

• BarcodeData -  Barcode value returned as an array of bytes.
• MinimumBarHeight property - PDF417 uses this value as a multiplier of the minimum barcode width to set the row module height.
• Rows - This value is used to set the number of rows.
• RowsCreated - The number of rows created.
• Columns - This value is used to set the number of columns to create.
• ColumnsCreated - The number of columns created.
• ErrorCorrectionLevel - This value is used for the amount of error correction to add to a barcode which supports selected error correction level.
• ErrorCorrectionLevelUsed - The value from the error correction level created.
• PDF417ErrorCorrectionLevel enumeration - The range of possible values to use with ErrorCorrectionLevel property.
• RequiredHeight - An output height value is required to create the barcode image.
• RequiredWidth - An output width value is required to create the barcode image.
