PDF417 has non-square pixels (or rather as it's called in barcode nomenclature "modules") which feels very janky - it was meant for linear scanners after all.
Oh, and quoting Wikipedia:
In practice, a PDF417 symbol takes about four times the area of a DataMatrix or QR Code.
Yes. They're clearly different things.
Which of these aspects offers a functional improvement in this application?
("Feels janky" doesn't quite cut the mustard, I don't think.)
