BarCode PDF 417

[Ahmed]

hi,
  i want to ask how to show human readable text below PDF 417 or above
  most of BarCode types have this option , but i cannot get it in this type

Hi,

The PDF 417, by specification, does not include text. You can easily work-around this limitation, by including a textblock control, immediately below or above the control:

<Barcodes:RadBarcodePDF417 Text="test" x:Name="PDFCode" Grid.Row="0">
</Barcodes:RadBarcodePDF417>
<TextBlock x:Name="PDFText" Grid.Row="1">
</TextBlock>

You can then populate the text.
I hope this helps.

Kind regards,

so how can i do this thing

Hi,

You can nest all the data in another control, a grid for example, and export it. More information is available in the following links:

Hi Ahmed,
I think the most of barCode types having text showing option that you are mentioning are1D barcodes. PDF417 along with another 2D barcode symbology Data Matrix don't have such an option yet as far as I know.
A dumb way I might choose is to scan those barcodes into a picture-processing tool which I can then add some other text or images above or below them.
