Paste the link to your PDF — a menu on Google Drive, a brochure on your website, a manual in Dropbox — and get a code that opens it full-screen on any phone. The PDF stays wherever it is hosted; the code never expires.
Google Drive is free and reliable: upload, right-click → Share → "Anyone with the link" → copy link. Dropbox and OneDrive work the same way. If you have a website, uploading the PDF there looks most professional and gives you a shorter link, which also makes a cleaner code.
Want to swap the PDF later without reprinting? That is exactly what an editable QR code is for — £10 once, repoint any time a new version of the menu or price list comes out.
No — QR codes hold around 3KB, far too small for a PDF. The code holds a link to the PDF, which is hosted on Drive, Dropbox or your site.
Yes. iPhone and Android both open linked PDFs in the browser or a viewer app automatically.
If the link stays identical (replace the file at the same URL), yes. Drive links change per file, so for swappable menus and price lists use a £10 editable code instead and repoint it each time.
The code is free forever. The PDF hosting is whatever you already use — Drive and Dropbox free tiers are plenty.
