Question

Edit a QR code

I use QR codes in my printed documents to point to online user guides that I generate in Framemaker. But if the url changes for some reason, why can't I edit a QR code that I generated in Framemaker. That option is always disabled when I try to use it?

 

Any help is appreciated.

    Hi Karen:

     

    why can't I edit a QR code that I generated in Framemaker

    Just select the code, right click > Edit QR Code. Or use the shortcut Esc Q E (these are sequential and not consecutive keys, and they are case sensitive).

    Hi Karen, a QR code is a static image.

    Instead of editing the existing code, have you tried inserting a new one instead?

     

    If you're looking to update an existing graphic, you would be able to create a new QR code using Fm or any other QR code generator, and then replacing your current code graphic with one that has the same name in the same location.
