That's something that has to happen OUTSIDE iText,
because iText doesn't create the barcode as a bitmap
with pixels.

A font is a program containing the shapes in the form
of operators and operands that explain how different
glyphs are drawn.
You are overlooking the third way (the iText way):
drawing the PDF417 using PDF syntax.

Your question is very confusing.
Why do you keep on talking about printers? PDF is device
independent! If you print a PDF with a low resolution
printer, the result won't be perfect, even if the PDF417
in the PDF is drawn using vectors.
Of course, if the barcode is a raster image (for instance
a JPEG), the result will be bad on any printer, but I don't
understand why you keep on talking about creating a PDF417
as a raster images with pixels. That's not how it's done
in iText. Are you sure you are using iText?
