    Hi Bharathi,

    Unfortunately ReportBuilder does not natively support PDF 417. On of our
    other customers recommended this site www.psoft.sk which may help. Also,
    take a look at the following article on extending the barcode capabilities
    in RB.

    ----------------------------------------
    Article: Adding new BarCode types
    ----------------------------------------

    ReportBuilder natively supports the following barcode types:

    - Codabar
    - Code 128
    - Code 39
    - EAN-8
    - EAN-13
    - Interleaved 2 of 5
    - PostNet
    - UPC-A
    - UPC-E
    - BarCode 93 (Available for Download at http://www.digital-metaphors.com).


    Options for adding new BarCode types:


    Find a VCL or ActiveX BarCode component that supports the desired BarCode
    type. Adapt the component for use in RB in one of the following ways:

    a. Use the third-party BarCode component to export the barcode output to an
    image and then use RB's Image component to print the barcode.

    b. Write a ReportBuilder "wrapper" component that adapts the third-party
    component to work inside the RB Designer. This is the approach used to
    integrate the TeeChart component within RB. A "wrapper" component is a
    descendant of RB's TppCustomComponent that instantiates and uses a
    third-party component to implement the desired rendering. See ppChrt.pas in
    the RBuilder\Source directory for an example.


    We have had customers use both of the above techniques successfully....
