Importing train tickets from PDF vs. as file

Hi,

while it is often easier to import a DB train ticket by just scanning the barcode e.g. by phone, I noticed that more information are available when importing the whole PDF as file.

Does the PDF ticket extractor extract more data, is not all data encoded in the barcode? Among the missing information are seat reservations and platform numbers.

There was also one case where scanning the barcode only imported the start and end of the journey, but not the changes in-between or even the exact times. I do not remember well enough to figure out which ticket that was though.

Yes, not all data that is available in the PDF (and that itinerary will extract) is also encoded in the barcodes
