How to reliably decode PDF417 barcodes on Android using software (not Zxing)?

What I need:

I need a java library (preferably for Android) that is capable of reliably decoding PDF417 barcodes, which may be distorted (not flat) and/or partially obscured.

What I've tried:

The Zxing PDF417 decoder is still in the alpha stages and lacks the speed and/or reliability that I require. I've tried porting the PDF417decode project to Java; th开发者_StackOverflowe ported library worked but was no more reliable than the Zxing implementation.

Details:

1. Decoding must take place in software; no external hardware is permitted
2. The library can cost money

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time!

Manatee Works now offers a mobile SDK for Android and iOS that can read PDF417. It is the best!

I have tried SDK from AIPSYS, the library is native code with android, it is very fast compared to Java code, contact the technical support for details support@aipsys.com

PDF417.mobi should work with distorted barcodes. We have tried with codes that are perforated, smudged, cut-off and even covered with sauce. There is a video about that.

Disclaimer: I work for PDF417.mobi SDK team. We developed this SDK out of frustration that other libraries weren't reliable enough.
