A PDF QR code to share documents by scan

Put brochures, manuals, catalogs, and handouts one scan away. Update the file later without reprinting the code.

No account, no credit card, no QR expiration.

A PDF QR code points at a link to your document. People scan with their phone camera and the PDF opens in their browser, with no typing and no attachment to chase.

It is a clean way to share brochures, product manuals, event programs, menus, and catalogs from packaging, posters, business cards, or signage.

Because the code is dynamic, you can replace the PDF later with an updated version and the printed code keeps working. You also see how many people opened the file.

Point it at the link where your PDF is hosted.

Share documents the way people actually read
