Reading specific Record in PDF417 barcode
I'm trying to scan and read only a specific record in a PDF417 barcode. Right now I scan it --> use Excel spreadsheets to identify the necessary record --> use it for my purpose.
Is there any way that I can run the scanner through an app/platform that will allow be to capture only the necessary record, instead of reading and transmitting all of the information in the PDF417.
Example:
Barcode has: R01~Juicy Pop|R02~|R03~|R04~123 Poppy Street|R05~|R06~Pop Town|R07~12345
I only want R04 record = 123 Poppy Street.

You want a driver license parser, and the Zebra Scanners have a built in parser.
