PDF417 not recognized after upgrading to version 6.0

I just upgraded from version 3.6.1 (Build 2010.08.01) to version 6.0 (Build 2013.12.25).


The attached tiff file with a PDF417 barcode gets recognized without any problems in the old version, but does not work in the new version. I even tried applying BinarizationHints to no avail.

I also noticed that in the old version, it would recognize the PDF417 barcodes even if the image had been scanned with a 90 degree rotation. This no longer works in the new version.

Hi Jose,



Thank you for contacting support. I managed to replicate the problem of recognition failure. I’ve logged this problem under ticket id BARCODENET-33822 in our issue tracking system. We’ll keep you updated regarding the progress. We’re sorry for your inconvenience.

Normally, the read method auto detects the orientation of the barcode e.g. it’s quite possible to recognize a bar code having 90 degrees without setting orientation hint. We could notice auto detection even in the latest release of Aspose.BarCode 6.0.0. Anyway, we recommend our customers use the realistic settings as its impact on the performance and quality. You can share the problematic barcode images in the forum thread. We’ll take a closer look and guide you accordingly.

What is the status of ticket id: BARCODENET-33822 ?

Will there be a new build with its resolution or will I need to wait until the next release cycle?

Hi Jose,
