What is a QR code for PDF?

A QR code is a type of barcode that can be read by most smartphone cameras. With our free PDF QR code generator, you can create a QR code that sends people directly to a PDF file such as a digital catalog, research paper or instruction manual. You can also use a QR code to share a menu, which could drive people to your restaurant website.

Benefits of using a QR code for your PDF

Using QR codes as part of your marketing strategy is a great way to engage your existing clients or customers, as well as attract new ones. They can help to differentiate your brand from competitors and create interactive experiences your customers will remember. Plus, by using a QR code generator for PDF, you can cut down on printing costs.

Why should I use a QR code to a PDF?

QR codes are a quick and cost-effective way to share all kinds of promotional, informative or educational materials. You can print your PDF QR code wherever additional information is needed—such as product packaging, posters, and merchandise. As soon as people scan your QR code, they’ll be able to view or download your PDF to their smartphone. 

How to scan a QR code

These days, most smartphones have built-in QR scanners within the native camera app. All you have to do is point your camera at a PDF QR code to scan it and access the information you’re looking for. If your device does not have a built-in QR scanner, you can download a third party QR code scanner app instead.
