If people should be able to scan once and read a PDF on their phone, the main job is reducing friction between the printed surface and the document.
What makes the scan smoother
- the QR code points to a hosted PDF link
- the destination opens in a browser on mobile
- the same document can be reused anywhere else you share it
Good examples
- menus on tables
- event schedules on signs
- brochures at a booth
- flyers in public spaces
Sharedoc workflow
Upload the PDF, copy the hosted link, download the QR code, and place the code where people need the shortest route to the document.
