There is no javascript implementation of ZXing at the moment (Correct me if I'm wrong).
But you can use ZXing as a webservice if you have the images of the PDF417 barcodes.
It's called scanning via intent : https://github.com/zxing/zxing/wiki/Scanning-Via-Intent
Send the seperate images to a the zxing server and get back the results.

How to get images from PDF files is a whole other issue.
But there is a javascript PDF reader available so you might be able to use that to get images out of PDF files :

There are some js ports of zxing at GitHub.
One of them should support PDF417. Perhaps there are more of them.

But I didn't try it.
