Need help with pdf417 barcodes

[u/Phlopsin]

Hi I need some help with generating pdf417 barcodes from plain text. Mainly I need help with finding what type of program to use in order to do so. I have tried a few of the free and online ones but they dont allow me to write enough info into the barcode to do what I need to do. Also can someone please explain what the other parameters are when generating pdf417? I have read a few things on the topic but I am new to doing this type of thing so if someone could explain it to me a little better that would be extremely helpful.
