Good morning everyone.

I should create progressive QR-CODEs like this

201157_07-01_2313900001

201157_07-01_2313900002

and this from 1 to 350

 

How can I solve the problem?

Thanks in advance from Italy

There is no simple way to do a series of codes like this from InDesign. But I suspect it could be scripted.

If that is not the exact requirement, be more specific and add any details that would guide a script developer. For instance, do these need to be on individual pages (for sticker printing?) Or in a particular text flow in a long document, such as a square in a page corner? Does the numbering need to remain that length — that is, can #350 be _231390000350, or should it be _2313900350 ?

Also — huge headsmack here for forgetting — ID's data merge feature can be used to generate QR codes. All you would need is a merge file with the serial numbering in it, perhaps generated in Excel, and bring it in via Data Merge. (I am only slightly more familiar with merge than I am with ID scripting, which is to say "not enough to be helpful." But both will readily bring answers from the topic experts here, and there is copious help and tutorial material for Data Merge.)
