Prevent broken links on printed packaging and signage.

// RELIABILITY REPORT
Your PDF links are hosted on geographically redundant servers. If the internet is up, your document is accessible.
PDF QRs Must Be Dynamic.
Many users get burned by 'Static' PDF codes that are actually trial-based dynamic codes. We're fixing the confusion with full transparency.
The Industry Lie
Competitors promise "Static PDF QRs" which technically cannot exist (how do you fit 10MB of data in a 2D barcode?). They use hidden dynamic links that expire after 14 days, forcing you into a subscription.
CRITICAL: Users report 404 errors on packaging links after trial ends.
The Lifetime Model
PDF QR codes require a hosting server to function. We tell you upfront: our codes are Dynamic so they can be updated—but we give you Permanent Ownership.
LIFETIME: Pay once ($29), hosted forever. No expiration anxiety.

Why Your "Free" QR Code
Stopped Working.
If you scanned your printed code and saw a "Billing" or "Expired" page, you've likely fallen for the 14-day trial trap. We call this the Financial Hostage situation.
The Diagnosis
Code Inactive / 404
The provider deactivated your dynamic redirect because the trial ended.
The Cost of Waiting
$500+ in Reprints
Every day your code is broken, you lose customers and physical trust.

The Best PDF QR Code
Generators for Menus.
Decision makers in hospitality and education are often baited by "Free" tools that turn into expensive traps. Here is an honest breakdown of the "Rent" vs. "Own" models.
Bitly / Tiger
High monthly fees for minimal usage. Their "Free" PDF codes are actually 14-day trials designed to lock your printed menus behind a paywall.
Adobe Express
Powerful design tools but complex QR management. Users report frequent mobile crashes and limited "Hot-Swap" flexibility for printed assets.
LifetimeQR
Built specifically for permanent document hosting. Pay once, update your PDF content forever, and never worry about scan limits or broken links.
1-Year Cost for 10 PDF Menus
