Error when trying to decode PDF417 code python

[Santiago Martinez]

Hi!

I'm trying to decode a pdf417 code from an ID. However, whenever I try to use the zxing.BarCodeReader().decode() function I get the following error:

"UnicodeDecodeError: 'utf-8' codec can't decode byte 0xff in position 175: invalid start byte". This only happens when I try to decode this specific barcode, when I try to decode other pdf417 codes it works just fine. 

Any idea what could be going wrong? Thanks in advance!

PS. Attached you can find the barcode I'm using for this example.

That looks like you're using another library that forked this library's code. It might be specific to that fork. But it also doesn't seem to decode in this library. Hard to say - are you sure it decodes maybe with other decoders?
