Dynamsoft Barcode Reader does indeed support reading barcodes from PDF files (see [Features](https://www.dynamsoft.com/barcode-reader/features/#Decode-Barcodes)). The only exception is the JavaScript and Mobile editions currently.

Yes — **Dynamsoft Barcode Reader supports reading barcodes from PDF files** in most editions (see the official [Features](https://www.dynamsoft.com/barcode-reader/features/#Decode-Barcodes) page).

The **only exceptions** are the **JavaScript edition** and the **Mobile edition**, which currently do **not** support PDF decoding.

### Do I need an extra license to read PDF files?
15
+
No. **Reading from PDF files does not require any additional license**. It is fully included in the standard SDK license.
16

### Additional Note: Multithreading Limitation
18
+
Please be aware that **PDF decoding does not support multithreading**.
19
+
Even if your application uses multiple threads, PDF files will still be processed **single-threaded** due to the way PDF pages are handled internally.

If you need higher performance, it is recommended to **convert PDF pages into images** and then decode them in parallel.
