The Generate/Edit QR Code dialog box has two tabs – Content and Color.
2 In the Content tab, select any one of the following data types in the Type drop-down list:
• Web Hyperlink
• Plain Text
• Text Message
• Email
• Business Card
Based on the selected type, one or more fields are displayed to provide the content for which you want to generate
the QR code.
3 The Color tab shows Swatch List. If you want to apply a specific color to the QR code, switch to the Color tab and
select a specific color. By default, the generated QR code is Black with transparent background.
4 Click OK.
5 If you have selected a Frame before generating the QR code, the code is placed directly in the selected Frame
replacing its content. If you have not selected a frame, the QR code is loaded on the Place Gun and you can place it
just like a traditional EPS object:
• Clicking inside the document places the object in its original/default size – 30 X 30 (cm units).
• Clicking into an existing frame places the code inside the frame with default size. (It replaces its existing content
if you click in the frame with the Alt key pressed.)
• Click and dragging draws a new frame with fixed aspect ratio and releasing the mouse places the code inside the
frame.
Once placed inside a document, the QR code is treated as a traditional EPS object, except that a tooltip appears on
hovering over the object, revealing the content details in the form of the embedded code.
