The following 2 iOS libraries cannot seem to scan these type of bar codes, even though they say it's supported:

I've read on Zxing's SVN/Google Code page that PDF 417 decoding is in the alpha stage, which probably explains why my the barcodes I'm testing on aren't being recognized.

With iOS7 or above, you don't have to rely on third-party libraries for barcode detection or decoding. AVFoundation has built-in (and hence free) support for detecting both 1D and 2D barcodes including PDF417 and QR codes using the device camera.

You can find working examples here and here.
