    PDF417 OVERVIEW This document provides the installation instructions for the NeoMedia Technologies PDF417 encoder library. For a detailed description of how to use the encoder, refer to the programmer’s manual, PDF417 Programming Guide. The PDF417 encoder library is a powerful set of functions for generating and printing PDF417 barcode symbols in a variety of hardware and software environments.

    ACUCOBOL runtime and a batch file to compile a COBOL program. The fourth directory, pdf417_32bit\docs, contains the user documentation files in Microsoft Word format. The fifth directory, pdf417_32bit\hpfont, contains the font binary files for HP PCL printers. The sixth directory, pdf417_32bit\afpos2, contains the font binary files for OS2 AFP printers.
  • Page 7 PDF417 For 32-bit installation, this process will create the pdf417 directory structure (pdf417_32bit). For the 16-bit installation, this process will create the top level directory (pdf417_16bit) and copy all files into this directory. For the 32-bit installation, once you have installed the PDF417 encoder, you must copy the pdfenc_d.dll into a directory where it can be found at execution time.

    PDF417 COBOL To compile and link the sample program for COBOL: NOTE: Compiling and testing the COBOL sample is not a required step for installation of the PDF417 Encoder. It is recommended if you will be using the COBOL API. First, the encoder objects must be linked into a load module.
  • Page 22 PDF417 NOTE: The very first step in the XSAMPLEC has been commented out because there is nothing to be deleted during the first run of this program. If you decided to re-execute this program, then the DELETE step would be needed. For successful execution, there will be no screen output but one file will be generated as an output file via the TPDFFONT DD card defined in the JCL.

    PDF417 //SYSUT1 //SYSUT2 //SYSIN Execution Errors Depending on what environment you are installing in, users have encountered some execution problems. If you are getting a SOC1 or SOC4 error at execution time, check the concatenation list. The PDF417 Encoder depends on the C runtime being available at runtime. The SOC1 and SOC4 error usually indicates a missing LOADLIB or runtime system library.
