§USE CASE / 05
QR for direct PDF download
Brochures, installation manuals, technical sheets, full menus. Any PDF on a public URL becomes a scannable QR that downloads the file instantly.
Why force the user to find the PDF on a website?
The customer holds your brochure and needs the technical sheet. If your brochure only says 'find it on our website', clicks are lost and they give up. Each step between paper and PDF lowers conversion.
QR pointing directly to the PDF file
Upload the PDF to public hosting (your site, Google Drive, Dropbox, S3). Generate a QR with that URL. When scanned, the phone opens the PDF directly, ready to read or download.
§HOW IT WORKS
How do I set up a QR for my PDF?
01
Upload the PDF somewhere accessible (your website or Drive with a public link).
02
Copy the direct URL to the file (ending in .pdf).
03
Generate the static QR on codigo-qr.es with that URL.
04
Print the QR where it makes sense: brochure, label, packaging.
