title: ZXing on Android PDF417
body: <p>Was anybody able to read the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PDF417" rel="noreferrer">PDF417</a> barcode with use of the <a href="http://code.google.com/p/zxing/" rel="noreferrer">ZXing</a> library on the Android OS? They are supporting this - and according to their page it is in 'alpha' stage.</p>
  
  <p>We are not looking for perfect solution - since the PDF417 is pretty complex and needs a very good camera with auto-focus, we can accept that it will be working only on few pre-selected high end devices.</p>
  
  <p>We have tried also the <a href="http://srowen.com/bsplus/" rel="noreferrer">Barcode Scanner +</a> available on the Android Market - it has the PDF417 option in the settings, but whatever we read it always fails.</p>
  
  <p>We were looking also for commercial SDK, also here on stackoverflow, but with no luck.</p>
  
  <p>Any help is appreciated.</p>
  
  <p>Kind Regards,
  STeN</p>
