I created a QR code with InDesign CC and it doesn't do anything

I created a QR code with a website URL inside of it, when I use my phone to scan it to see if it works, it doesn't do anything. But I scan another QR code with the same phone and app and it brings up the website from that other QR code.

Any advice? Thanks.

I'm afraid that has nothing to do with any of this and since this discussion is so old I'm going to lock it.

The other QR codes which you successfully scanned—were they also created in InDesign? If so then I would suggest checking to make sure that you have the correct URL for the one that isn't working. If they were created through some other means then try using one of their URLs to generate a QR code in InDesign. I have found this feature to be relatively simple to use. You don't even need the "https://" or "www." in the URL. For instance I tested it by just putting in "amazon.com" and it worked fine.

I am not 100% if the answer is yes or no

Another fellow told me that he just uses an online QR code generator and it seemed to work fine for him, save in EPS and I think from there it can be Placed into InDesign.

Thanks for your reply.

I am also having the same issue. InDesign does make it stupidly simple to generate QR codes, so I am unsure why it wouldn't be working?

Anyone have any solutions for this?
