If you want people to open a PDF from print, signage, or a presentation slide, the fastest workflow is simple: upload the PDF, create a public URL, and generate a QR code that points to it.
Why the URL matters
The QR code should send people to a browser-friendly destination. That makes the scan action fast and keeps the experience consistent across phones.
Best use cases
- restaurant menus
- event handouts
- brochures
- local flyers
Sharedoc workflow
- Upload the PDF.
- Copy the direct file link.
- Download the QR image.
- Place the QR code wherever people need to scan.
The key is using one hosted destination for every channel.
