QR code for a PDF
Link the document, not a frozen copy of it.
A QR code cannot hold a PDF — the format stores a short piece of text, not a file. What it can hold is a link to one, and a managed redirect means the document behind it can be replaced whenever it is revised.

Short destination, smaller code
A redirect is far shorter than a typical file URL, which keeps the code simple and easy to scan.
Know it is being read
Scan counts show whether the manual, menu, or spec sheet is actually opened.
Good fits
- Manuals, spec sheets, and safety documents
- Menus and price lists that change seasonally
- Programmes, handouts, and course material
A straightforward promise
QR Inspector sends scanners directly to your destination with no advertising interstitial. Created codes keep redirecting if you stop paying, and scans are not metered.

Can the QR code contain the PDF itself?
No. QR codes store a small amount of text. Host the file and encode its link — this is how every 'PDF QR code' works.
Where do I host the PDF?
Anywhere with a stable public URL: your own site, cloud storage, or a document host. The redirect handles changes after that.
