Generating QR code in Illustrator

[ballyd]

Why has Adobe not seen it fit to include a QR code generator in Illustrator? Currently, getting QR code "images" into Illustrator is a pain in the a##. Adobe please wake up.

Sorry, but i think if its possible to generate a QR in InDesign – in line – why i should usa a online service, download and implement a exernal file – this is so much 2010!

It would be more convenient if Adobe Illustrator had a built-in QR Code generator, or better yet something that could generate QR codes and a variety of bar codes. One of Illustrator's rivals has built-in capability to create QR codes and bar codes (in vector format). But it's a feature I rarely use at all.

It's worth noting there is some push-back about QR Codes. The codes themselves aren't bad. But there have been incidents where publicly displayed QR codes have been covered with codes pointing users to other web sites. This is yet another thing where people have to be street smart about technology.

Be careful! Adobe Express creates such links in its qr codes!

You can use adobe in design. Object/Generate QR Code.

The Adobe Express one will not generate with custom colors. Best to just open InDesign and use the well-built QR code generator there. This will allow you to export an EPS to use in Illustrator. Why this isn't in Illustrator is a mystery to me.
