Frequently Asked Questions

How do PDF QR codes work?

PDF QR codes link to your PDF document. When scanned, they open the PDF in the device's browser or PDF viewer, allowing users to view or download the document. The QR code contains a URL that points to your PDF file, which can be stored on our secure servers or linked to an existing PDF URL.

Can I password protect my PDF QR codes?

Yes! You can set password protection on PDF QR codes. Users will need to enter a password before accessing the PDF document. This is perfect for sharing confidential documents, proprietary information, or restricted content that should only be accessible to authorized users.

What's the file size limit for PDFs?

File size limits depend on your plan. Most plans support PDFs up to 100MB. For larger files, consider using cloud storage links instead of direct uploads. Enterprise plans may support larger file sizes - contact us for custom solutions.

Can I track PDF downloads?

Yes! You can track PDF views, downloads, locations, and timestamps with detailed analytics to understand document engagement. Our analytics dashboard shows you when PDFs are accessed, from which locations, and on what devices, helping you measure the effectiveness of your document sharing strategy.

Can I update the PDF after creating the QR code?

Yes! With dynamic PDF QR codes, you can update the PDF file without changing the QR code. This means you can fix errors, add new information, or update content without needing to reprint or redistribute your QR codes. The QR code stays the same, but the content updates automatically.

What formats can I download the QR code in?

You can download PDF QR codes in multiple formats including PNG (for digital use), SVG (for scalable graphics), PDF (for print materials), and EPS (for professional printing). All formats maintain high quality and can be used in various applications from business cards to billboards.

Do PDF QR codes expire?

PDF QR codes can be set to never expire, or you can configure expiration dates for time-sensitive documents. This is useful for event programs, limited-time offers, or documents that should only be accessible for a specific period.

Can I use PDF QR codes for printed materials?

Absolutely! PDF QR codes are perfect for printed materials like brochures, product packaging, business cards, posters, and manuals. Users can scan the code to instantly access the PDF document without typing URLs or searching for files.
