How to Create a QR Code for PDF Download

Use this when you need fast document delivery from posters, slides, booths, packaging inserts, or business cards.

Quick Setup

1. Finalize your PDF and keep filename clear (Product-Catalog-Q2-2026.pdf).
2. Upload it to an HTTPS location that recipients can access without login.
3. Copy a stable share link (or a direct-download link if your use case requires it).
4. Convert that link into a QR code.
5. Test on iOS and Android before printing.
6. Place the QR where users can scan comfortably (eye level, enough quiet space).

Link Rules That Prevent Failure

• Use HTTPS links only.
• Avoid links that expire too early.
• Keep one canonical link per campaign.
• Re-test after any file update.

Best-Fit Use Cases

• Event brochures and product sheets
• Menus, forms, and onboarding docs
• Portfolio/resume handouts
• Classroom and training materials

Final Takeaway

The workflow is simple: upload PDF, create link, generate QR, test on mobile, then publish.
If you need control later, use a link provider that supports expiry, download rules, and open stats.
