PDF 417 barcode generator
=========================

[](#pdf-417-barcode-generator)

This is a fork of the [ihabunek/pdf417-php](https://github.com/ihabunek/pdf417-php/) library, having the Intervention Image library removed for simplicity. It now relies on the PHP native GD extension only. Unneeded configuration options are also removed: bitmap image types (other than PNG) and colors (other than black on white).

Requirements
------------

[](#requirements)

Requires the following components:

- PHP >= 5.5
- PHP extensions: bcmath, gd

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

Add it to your `composer.json` file:

```
composer require radoid/pdf417

```

Usage overview
--------------

[](#usage-overview)

```
require 'vendor/autoload.php';

use Radoid\PDF417\PDF417;
use Radoid\PDF417\Renderers\ImageRenderer;
use Radoid\PDF417\Renderers\SvgRenderer;

// Text to be encoded into the barcode
$text = 'Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Curabitur
imperdiet sit amet magna faucibus aliquet. Aenean in velit in mauris imperdiet
scelerisque. Maecenas a auctor erat.';

// Encode the data, returns a BarcodeData object
$pdf417 = new PDF417();
$data = $pdf417->encode($text);

// Create a PNG image
$renderer = new ImageRenderer();
$image = $renderer->render($data);

// Create an SVG image
$renderer = new SvgRenderer();
$svg = $renderer->render($data);

// Create a data URL
$dataURL = $renderer->renderDataUrl($data);
