Is there some undocumented, easy way to get rid of the border around InDesign-generated QR codes? That border makes it a huge pain to align with other items, and it's so time consuming to resize the object box perfectly. How easy it would be to simply turn off the borders! Any ideas?
The transparent edge? No, not that I know of. Are they always the same size? You might play with sizing and then save it as an object style.

What border?

By "border" do you mean the (usually) white space around the grid?
That's not there from sloppiness or an arbitrary aspect of ID's generator. QR codes must have a dead zone around them to facilitate quick and accurate reads. It's a defined part of the standard.
You're free to remove them in PS or by cropping, but unless you preserve something like it in your layout, the code may be annoying to use.

This I know, and that's what I currently do — and I layout my work to accomodate required space, thus rendering the built-in white space unnecessary. I'd much prefer to have the code image snap to the margin as opposed to the white border snapping.
I'm going to assume there's no clean way to elimiate this outside of the manual methodologies.

Is using a guideline not a workable option?

Gotcha — I will look into that! Thank you!
