How to Add a QR Code to a PDF

With PDFelement, you can add a QR code to embed a scannable link or information directly within the document. This feature allows users to generate a QR code that can contain URLs, text, or other data, which is then inserted into the PDF as an image element. The QR code can be positioned anywhere on the page and customized in size to fit the document’s layout. To learn how to insert a QR code into your document, read the steps mentioned below:

Step 1

To begin, generate a QR code using any online tool and save it to your device. Next, launch PDFelement and open the document in which you want to insert the QR code.
