PDF Viewer / Document
Create a QR code that opens a PDF document — menus, brochures, catalogues, user manuals, and more.
What is It?
The PDF Viewer CTA creates a QR code that, when scanned, opens a PDF document in the scanner's browser or PDF viewer. You upload the PDF to SMLLR and we host it for you — no need to host it on your own server.
When to Use It
Digital menus for restaurants (update anytime without reprinting QR codes)
Product catalogues and brochures
Equipment user manuals on product packaging
Reports, presentations, or whitepapers
Event schedules and programmes
How to Set It Up
Select 'PDF Viewer'
Choose PDF Viewer / Document from the CTA type list.
Upload your PDF
Click Upload PDF and select your PDF file from your device. Maximum file size: 10 MB. SMLLR hosts the file for you.
Or enter a PDF URL
Alternatively, if your PDF is already hosted online, paste the direct URL to the PDF file.
Save and test
Save and scan to verify the PDF opens and displays correctly on mobile.
Updating the PDF Later
Since SMLLR QR codes are dynamic, you can upload a new PDF at any time (e.g. when your menu changes for a new season). The QR code on your printed materials automatically shows the new document — no reprinting needed.
