PDF417 Encoder Plug-in for FileMaker Pro 8.5.0

PDF417 Encoder, a FileMaker plug-in, provides the ability to print PDF417 bar codes from any FileMaker database. Unlike other bar code plug-ins, PDF417 Encoder does NOT require the installation of any special fonts. Barcodes will be generated as images native to the platform.
PDF417 Encoder provides full control over the size, shape, orientation, and error correction of the bar codes. Multi-bar codes and micro-PDF can be generated. Automatic transcoding of FileMakers character set eliminates problems scanning special characters.
The latest PDF417 Encoder is optimized for Win XP/OS 10.4/FileMaker 8.5, and will work back to Win 98/OS 10.3/FileMaker 7. Earlier versions are still available for all releases of FileMaker back to v.4.2. The current version is backward compatible with FileMaker scripts written for previous versions.
Main features:
- Provides complete control over barcode dimensions and error correction, or let these parameters be chosen automatically
- Barcode image can be generated at any size or orientation, flipped or inverted.

- Legacy functions from previous versions still work, so you are not forced to alter existing scripts
- Versions for FileMaker 4.2-6 are available
