title: pdf417 Javascript Reading / Decoding
body: <p>I have been tasked with adding in pdf417 (Driving License) decoding / reading for a web based application.</p>
  
  <p>Input: Image of driving licenses. (400-600 dpi)</p>
  
  <p>Processing: Detecting/Parsing of pdf417 data. </p>
  
  <p>Output: Parse pdf417 data.</p>
  
  <p>Limitations: Its a web based app running via: IE, Chrome, Safari. I cant install anything on the local machine. </p>
  
  <p>So I have been investigating for a few days now and I have not figured out a good way to make this work. Ideally the whole decoding would take place on the clients machine using Javascript/Jquery. However I have found no scripts / libraries that can do this. The only other options I have found was perhaps a java servlet or a php extension; both of which are not ideal because the upload time is going to push me over my time allot. </p>
  
  <p>Does anyone know of any javascript or JQuery library that can handle this?</p>
  
  <p>Or perhaps a better way to incorporate this functionality that I am not seeing?</p>
