Question 1

Do I have to host the PDF myself?

Accepted Answer

No. You can upload the PDF while creating the code. If it already lives at a stable public URL, you can link to it instead.

Question 2

What happens if I replace the PDF later?

Accepted Answer

Update the managed destination to the replacement PDF and the same printed QR code will open the new document.

Question 3

Will the PDF open well on a phone?

Accepted Answer

The PDF opens in the phone's document viewer. Use a mobile-friendly page instead when the content depends on responsive layouts or interactive controls.

Question 4

Can I brand the code to match the document?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Set your colors and add a logo. Review the contrast warnings and test the finished code with a phone before printing.

Question 5

How big should the code be on a printed insert?

Accepted Answer

As a rule of thumb, keep it at least 2×2 cm and expect a comfortable scan from about ten times the code's width. A small insert read up close can be smaller than a code meant to be scanned from across a room.
