    How to make a PDF Link QR code

    Follow these steps, then test the downloaded QR code in the format and place where people will use it.
    1. Upload the PDF to a location you control and open the public link in a private browser window.
    2. Paste the final public address into Qraffe.
    3. Scan the downloaded code on a phone and confirm the document is readable without signing in.
    EXAMPLE DOCUMENT

    A practical example

    https://example.com/files/installation-guide.pdfThe QR code points to a public PDF address. Qraffe does not upload, host or change the document.

    What to check first

    • The QR code can only open a document that stays publicly available at the same address.
    • Large PDFs are frustrating on mobile data. Keep documents concise and optimise file size before sharing.
    • A web page may be a better destination when information changes often or needs to work well on a small screen.

    Frequently asked questions

    The details that most often affect whether the finished code works as expected.
    No. A normal PDF is far too large for a practical QR code. The code should contain a link to a document hosted online.
    Yes, if you replace the document while keeping the same public address. The printed QR code will continue opening that address.
    The destination is not publicly accessible. Adjust the hosting permissions or use a public page before you publish the QR code.
    A QR code is only ready after a real scan test. Test it at the intended size, on more than one phone when possible and with the destination available to the public.
