A QR code can only point at a URL, so to make a "PDF QR code" you first need your PDF online. cloud71 does both halves in one step: drop your PDF, get a fast hosted link, and generate a QR that opens it instantly on any phone camera.
Because the PDF lives at a real link, you can update it any time without reprinting the QR — change the menu, fix a typo, swap the brochure — and every scan shows the latest version.
