PDF QR Code Generator
Point a code at a PDF that is already on the web. A scan opens that file. This page does not store the document.
A link to the file, not an upload
The code stores the address of the PDF. Put the file on your site, a drive link that is public, or any https address a phone can open without signing in.
Hosted generators that accept an upload keep the file on their servers. This one does not. If the file moves, print a new code.
Questions
Can I upload the PDF here?
No. Paste a link to a PDF that is already online. The code only stores that address.
Will the PDF open in the browser?
Most phones open a public PDF after the scan. A file that requires a login will stop at the sign-in page.
