PDF417 Installation Guide
NeoMedia Technologies, Inc. Page 2
Windows PC-based Installation
It is highly recommended that the installation of the PDF417 encoder be performed by a skilled
System Administrator with intimate knowledge of your Windows environment. The instructions
that follow are written in a general sense and will work on most Windows based systems.
However, due to the wide and varied PC-based configurations available, it is impossible to
provide concise instructions for all possible scenarios. Some of the instructions may therefore
require customization.
Requirements
The encoder is supported for use with the following products:
• ACUCOBOL
• C/C++
After completing the installation, the PDF417 encoder will be available as a dynamic link library
that can then be linked with your applications. While linking and running the encoder with
products other than those listed above may be possible, these types of configurations are not
supported by NeoMedia Technologies.
Preparing for Installation
The PDF417 encoder is distributed on diskettes in InstallShield format. The distribution consists
of a root directory, pdf417_32bit or pdf417_16bit, with the following six sub-
directories.
The first directory, pdf417_32bit\lib, contains the PDF417 encoder dynamic link library
(.dll), the link library (.lib) ), the static link library (.lib), and C header files which will need to be
included in your application.
The second directory, pdf417_32bit\sample, contains a variety of resources for the
programmer, including an Excel spreadsheet PDF417 Calculator, sample programs, callback
function definition source files, and C header files.
The third directory, pdf417_32bit\acu, contains the ACUCOBOL specific files required for
building an ACUCOBOL runtime and a batch file to compile a COBOL program.
The fourth directory, pdf417_32bit\docs, contains the user documentation files in
Microsoft Word format.
The fifth directory, pdf417_32bit\hpfont, contains the font binary files for HP PCL
printers.
The sixth directory, pdf417_32bit\afpos2, contains the font binary files for OS2 AFP
printers.
Installing the Encoder
The installation media for Windows is in InstallShield format.
• Insert Disk 1 into floppy drive A.
