I am working with PDF-417 module of Zxing Library. We found some PDF-417 barcodes on which Zxing is giving CheckSumException.

Another solution https://pdf417.mobi/ is able to detect this barcode every single time. Don't know the exact reason but it may be skipping checksum validation.

Is there any option in Zxing, using which we can minimize the checksum validation of PDF-417 barcodes?

In general, no you can't skip error correction (I assume that's what you mean). You'll get subtle data corruption once in a while.
ChecksumException can also be a form of mis-read.
