A chemistry laboratory had purchased quite few licenses of Adobe InDesign after receiving a tip from a sales person that it can help them to layout their reports, add patient/customer details in the report, add lab test results in, and let InDesign generate a QR code out of the lot.

To my knowledge the Generate QR code feature in InDesign will not be able to collect all details and lab test results from the page, the feature rather is limted to what we feed it within the few listed options below…

Now the lab has InDesign licenses and wanted to get trained on how to use it. The question is how can they generate QR codes in a way that suits their needs, is there a third party plug-in/extension that do so?

Dear Mr. Zaid,

I think the best idea is to upload the results as pdf on a server or cloud storage and the QR code will lead them to the results as pdf, they ca download.

also they can publish online the results, the link can be Qr code.. they can view or download the results ad records.

in all ways the results cannot be plain text.

I'm not sure I understood you correctly, are you saying that the plain text report to be uploaded to the cloud, at the same time the InDesign user will generate a QR code for the URL only?

What I understood from the chemist lab, they want all report content to be incorporated in the QR code, I don't know whether this is possible with a third party plug-in or not. Moreover, they are a government sector, so uploading reports to the cloud is out of question I'm afraid.

exactly that what i meant! why to use external storage, difintly they should use internal storage.

A QR code can hold a maximum of 4,269 alphanumeric characters. It cannot contain whole reports. What you have probably seen is that all reports are on the web and organised, with links in QR codes. Do a detailed analysis of the actual QR code contents for the examples you see, don't assume co tents from the behaviours when they are read.
