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.
Edit the content and color of the QR code
1. Select the QR code object or the frame: double-click inside the frame.
2. From the menu, choose Object > Edit QR Code. You can also right-click and choose Edit QR Code in the context menu.
3. The Edit QR Code dialog box is displayed with the existing content and color information.
4. In the Content tab, change the data type and content as appropriate.
5. To select a different color for the QR code, click Color tab and select an appropriate color.
6. Click OK.
Modify the QR code’s frame attribute
