Parameters

ImageID
A unique image identifier of the GdPicture image representing the image in use.

Return Value

A member of the GdPictureStatus enumeration. If the method has been successfully followed, then the return value is GdPictureStatus.OK. We strongly recommend always checking this status first.
Remarks
This method uses the best quality mode for scanning and will try to detect all available barcodes. You can use the BarcodePDF417ReaderDoScan(Int32,BarcodePDF417ReaderScanMode,Int32,Boolean) method and set the ExpectedCount parameter to 1 and StopOnExpectedCount to true to stop the recognition process after the first barcode was found.

For more details, please refer to our Barcode Recognition Sample included in the installation folder that demonstrates the usage of this method.

Example
Finding PDF417 barcodes in an image and writing complete barcodes info into a file.
using (GdPictureImaging gdpictureImaging = new GdPictureImaging())
{
    int imageID = gdpictureImaging.CreateGdPictureImageFromFile("image.jpg", false);
    
    // Start the PDF417 barcode scanning process using the best quality looking for all PDF417 barcodes.
    gdpictureImaging.BarcodePDF417ReaderDoScan(imageID);
 
    // Write all available info into a text file.
    using (System.IO.StreamWriter file = new System.IO.StreamWriter("PDF417.txt"))
    {
        int barcodesFound = gdpictureImaging.BarcodePDF417ReaderGetBarcodeCount();
 
        for (int i = 1; i <= barcodesFound; i++)
        {
            // Decoded information.
            file.WriteLine("Decoded info = " + gdpictureImaging.BarcodePDF417ReaderGetBarcodeValue(i));
 
            // The raw bytes decoded. It was post-processed to find the correct decoded info based on detected Encoding.
            file.WriteLine("Raw bytes = " + gdpictureImaging.BarcodePDF417ReaderGetBarcodeValueRAW(i));
 
            // The number of rows of the barcode.
            file.WriteLine("Rows = " + gdpictureImaging.BarcodePDF417ReaderGetBarcodeRows(i));
 
            // The number of columns of the barcode.
            file.WriteLine("Columns = " + gdpictureImaging.BarcodePDF417ReaderGetBarcodeColumns(i));
 
            // The skew angle of the barcode, in degrees.
            file.WriteLine("Skew angle = " + gdpictureImaging.BarcodePDF417ReaderGetBarcodeSkewAngle(i));
 
            // Confidence in result, in percentage (values from 0 to 100).
            file.WriteLine("Confidence = " + gdpictureImaging.BarcodePDF417ReaderGetBarcodeConfidence(i));

        }
    }

    gdpictureImaging.BarcodePDF417ReaderClear();
    gdpictureImaging.ReleaseGdPictureImage(imageID);
