Adding QR codes allows readers additional access to more information or supports a call to action.
Start by choosing Object > Generate QR Code. The Generate QR Code dialog box displays.
The Generate/Edit QR Code dialog box has two tabs – Content and Color. In the Content tab, select any one of the following data types in the Type drop-down list:
- Web Hyperlink
- Plain Text
- Text Message
- Business Card
The Color tab shows the document swatch List. If you want to apply a specific color to the QR code, switch to the Color tab and select a specific color. By default, the generated QR code is Black with transparent background – this is usually easiest for phones to read.
Finally, click OK.
If you have selected a Frame before generating the QR code, the code is placed directly in the selected Frame replacing its content.
If you have not selected a frame, the QR code is loaded into the cursor and you can place it just like any other object.
If you need to make changes to your QR code, choose Object > Edit QR Code. You can also right-click and choose Edit QR Code in the context menu.
