FAQ
Where should I host my PDF?
Google Drive (free), Dropbox, OneDrive, or your own website all work. Make sure the link is publicly accessible (anyone with link can view).
Can I update the PDF later?
Yes! If you replace the file at the same URL, the QR code will show the new version. With Google Drive, just upload a new version of the same file.
Is there a file size limit?
The QR code just links to your PDF — there's no limit. However, smaller PDFs (under 10MB) load faster on mobile devices.
