And you share these documents either directly with people or you email them in case they need a soft copy. But you do not have the email addresses handy every time.
And in case you have emails, sending these copies one by one can be a task. So don't worry. We have a solution in which sharing documents becomes much easier.
And this is through the use of QR Code Technology. In case you do not know, QR Codes are advanced barcodes that can be easily scanned via a smartphone.
And in this video, we will show you how to share documents via QR Code. So, a QR Code can encode all kinds of content. This could be a website URL, a PDF document, and even multimedia content.
So, depending on the kind of file you want to share, you can choose from a variety of QR Codes. Different QR Codes are meant to share different files.
The first one is the Website URL QR Code.
For this, you will have to convert your word document into a link. You can do this either by uploading your word document over a cloud server or by creating a Google document.
In case you want to know how to create a Website URL QR Code, the link is in the description box.
The second one is PDF QR Code. In this QR Code, you can encode your PDF file. When any user scans it, he will be able to access the PDF.
In case you want to know how to create a PDF QR Code, the link is in the description box. So, the third one is a Rich Text QR Code which is also known as a Custom Text QR Code.
This QR Code comes with an editor just like a Google Document. You can here add your content. When end-users scan it, they will be able to see the content.
