Frequently Asked Questions
Can I change which PDF the QR code links to?
With a static QR code, the URL is fixed. Use a dynamic QR code to change the linked PDF at any time without reprinting.
Does it work on all devices?
Yes. The QR code opens the PDF URL in the device's browser, which can display PDFs natively on all modern devices.
Is there a file size limit?
The QR code links to a URL, not the PDF itself, so there is no file size limit from the QR side. Keep PDFs under 10 MB for fast mobile loading.
