Barcode Reader Support for PDF417

Hello, I require support for PDF417 barcode type in the barcode reader for my app to work. Please advise if this can be enabled. Thank you!

Hey @muaazteladia, welcome to the community!

Can you tell us a little more about PDF417 codes and why you need this functionality in your app please?

What happens at the moment when you try to scan on of these codes?

Thanks.

Hi @domhnallohanlon,

Thank you for your response. I want to make an app for courier management which requires the use of PDF417 barcodes. Without the ability to scan these barcodes it is not possible to build the app, I have tried work arounds like using the camera to send the image to a server via api to decode but its not effective and user friendly.

Since you guys use goqr for your barcode/qr code scanning it does nothing (just opens camera to scan and doesn’t recognize anything) as that service only supports qr codes and a few barcodes, the component should be called qr scanner instead of barcode scanner as that is the main feature.

Hope you can implement something to support PDF417 barcodes so I can create my app.

Kind Regards,
