What to put behind the code
A publicly viewable PDF link that works in a signed-out browser.
Print for the place it will live
Starting size: 3 × 3 cm. This is a starting point, not a scanning guarantee. Test at handheld distance and check text readability after opening.
Use a matte insert with a short document title and revision date. Keep the four-module quiet zone intact and use dark modules on a light background. Read the print-size guide.
Where to place it
- Document cover
- Service desk sign
- Product insert
Mistakes to avoid
- Using an account-only sharing link
- Uploading an unreadably large scan
- Deleting an old file before updating the destination
Before committing to a print run
Print a proof on the final material. Scan it with more than one phone, from the normal viewing position. Check the opened destination while signed out and confirm it leads to the intended page or action. A readable fallback address or contact detail helps visitors who cannot scan.
