 # Barcode Generator
 
-The Barcode Generator is a simple API to generate barcodes directly from the Scandit SDK. This document describes the JSON format understood by the [`sc_barcode_generator_set_options()`](https://docs.scandit.com/stable/c_api/struct_sc_barcode_generator.html#a045a2b9474895067e8eb1610ae6c5fef) function.
+The Barcode Generator is a simple API to generate barcodes directly from the Scandit SDK. The function [`sc_barcode_generator_new`](https://docs.scandit.com/stable/c_api/struct_sc_barcode_generator.html) creates a barcode generator for a sepcific symbology.
 
-## General Options
+The Barcode Generator supports the following formats:
+
+* Code 39
+* Code 128
+* EAN 13
+* UPCA
+* ITF
+* QR
+* DataMatrix
+* PDF417 (SDK version >= 8.2)
+
+## Sample
+
+A C and Python sample is provided in the Linux SDK archive: `CommandLineBarcodeGeneratorSample.c/py`.
+
+## JSON Configuration
+
+The generator can be configured using a JSON string understood by the [`sc_barcode_generator_set_options()`](https://docs.scandit.com/stable/c_api/struct_sc_barcode_generator.html#a045a2b9474895067e8eb1610ae6c5fef) function.
+
+### General Options
 
 * `foregroundColor`: 4-tuple of integers [r, g, b, a] with `r`, `g`, `b` and `a` being in the range [0, 255]
 * `backgroundColor`: 4-tuple of integers [r, g, b, a] with `r`, `g`, `b` and `a` being in the range [0, 255]
 
-## 2D Symbologies

 ### QR Code
 
 * `errorCorrectionLevel`: string, may be `"L"` (up to 7% damage), `"M"` (up to 15% damage), `"Q"` (up to 25% damage) or `"H"` (up to 30% damage). Default correction level is `"M"`.
-* `versionNumber`: positive integer, overrides desired version number. Version number is automatically chosen if not set. Barcode generation might fail if version number is too small.
+* `versionNumber`: integer from 1 to 40, overrides desired version number. Version number is automatically chosen if not set. Barcode generation might fail if version number is too small.
+
+Example:
     ```json
     {
         "foregroundColor" :  [ 255, 0, 0, 255 ],
         "backgroundColor" :  [ 0, 0, 255, 255 ],
         "errorCorrectionLevel": "Q"
     }
     ```
+
+### PDF417
+
+All settings are optional.
+
+* `errorCorrectionLevel`: integer with values 0 to 8. A higher numbers increases the error correction data in the code.
+* `compact`: boolean, switches from normal to a compact code layout.
+* `compaction`: string, values `TEXT`, `BYTE`, `NUMERIC` or `AUTO`.
+* `dimensions`:	object,	`{"minCols" : n, "maxCols" : n, "minRows" : n, "maxRows" : n}` symbol dimensions as integer. Encoding fails if incompatible dimensions are defined.
+
+Example:
+    ```json
+    {
+        "errorCorrectionLevel": 3,
+        "compact": true,
+        "dimensions" {
+            "minCols" : 1,
+            "maxCols" : 3,
+            "minRows" : 2,
+            "maxRows" : 10
+        }
+    }
+    ```
