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. The library is written in 
ANSI C and is shipped in compiled object form. The library includes interfaces for COBOL and 
C. While the encoder library does not use any of the standard C library functions, some platforms 
(e.g., MVS and OS/400) still require that programs calling C modules be linked with the C run-
time libraries. Refer to your systems development environment reference for more information. 
The encoder consists of the following components: 
•  The encoder library itself (shipped in compiled, object format for your platform). 
•  A number of printer fonts for IBM AFP, Xerox, and Hewlett Packard PCL printers. Refer to 
your NeoMedia Technologies, Inc. PDF417 encoder License Agreement for details on which 
fonts you have licensed for use. 
•  A number of sample programs and printer resources. 
The specific file names of these components are listed in the platform installation sections.
