Hello fellow listers !

We are looking for the specifications of 2D barcode PDF417, and possibly an
algorithm to generate such barcodes. If anyone can help us, please contact
me at [log in to unmask] or Bertrand de Boissieu at [log in to unmask]

A comprehensive web search has yielded a number of hits leading to PDF417
decoding, but no hit leading to PDF417 encoding algorithms or detailed
specifications. A PDF417 encoding feature would nonetheless be a highly
welcome enhancement to our forms management line of products.

APPIC is the leading publisher of forms management and document archiving
and retrieval software, under the names of StarJet/StarPage (R) and
StarFind (R). We have offices in France, California and Singapore. Our
subsidiary APPIC R.H. is the leading HP Partner in France for HP3000/HP9000
platforms, with an HP Systems Integrator / HP3000 Expert agreement with HP.
We are also the leading placement service provider for HP SysAdmin and
Development resources in France, with activities extending over 17
countries.

Thanks in anticipation for your valuable help.
