        How it works
        ------------
        
        1. Install font `pdf417.ttf <https://github.com/ikvk/pdf417as_str/raw/master/font/pdf417.ttf>`_ into your OS.
        
        2. Encode your data string into special encoded strings.
        
        .. code-block:: python
        
            pdf417_encoded_text = pdf417as_str.encode417('https://github.com', columns=5)
        
        3. Paste encoded text into any text editor.

        4. Choose "Code PDF417" font for text, adjust line spacing. You will receive pdf417 barcode.

        NOTE: Small empty space between rows will not affect to reading barcode. Anyway you can find suited size.
        
        Also you can make .png barcode using pdf417as_str.convert.to_png, but this function for tests and not efficient.
        
        Installation
        ------------
        ::
        
            $ pip install pdf417as-str
