Pdfs And Weblinks
I'm a bit new at this so bear with me if I post this in the wrong forum.
I need to create a QR code that can grant acess to a PDF when scanned via smart phone or tablet. When looking through the options under the "Select the type of database to use" I did not see a PDF selection. Is it even possible to link a PDF to a QR code?
Also, I would like to know how to add a website to a QR code so that when some one scans the code via smart phone or tablet, that will take the user to my website. How do I do this?
Thanks in advance!

You cannot encode a PDF document into a QR Code as a PDF file would be too big in file size. Instead you could encode a UNC path to the file assuming that the reading device is on the same network as where the file is located: For example: \\Server\ShareFolder\Example.PDF
To encode a web link into a QR Code simple enter the full URL address into the data source of the barcode. Such as: http://www.seagullscientific.com
Of course a PDF stored in a website could be opened in the same way, for example: http://www.seagullscientific.com/docs/whitepapers/WhitePaper_WhatsNewInBT10.pdf0 -

You can try create qr code in .net ([b]businessrefinery.com/products/barcode_net/barcodes/net-qr-code.html[/b]), like in ASP.NET or WinForms, or other three reports.
.NET QR Code Generator SDK is a powerful .NET barcode generating component used for creating QR Code barcode in .NET programs. It supports C#, Visual Basic .NET, managed C++ and Delphi .NET programming language and other development environment supported by .NET Framework.
You can customize its properties , including barcode size, bacode output resolutions and much more based on your needs.0
