Hi All,
Looking to create a QR code from a csv field.
Has anybody already done a script or got any advice on how to create the EPS so that I can place it in the PDF?


TIA

I use SmartStream Designer together with Barcode Studio for this;



Input is a CSV, so guess that's what you need

So, do you have SmartStream Designer?

You can also do this in indesign cc (maybe other versions to, not sure) without any plugins;
the header just needs a : #code then all the data under that header will become a QR code

so:
create a document with the size u want
then go to window, utilities, datamerge
then in the datamerge tab select a source
in your csv make the header field of the code: #code
then link that field in indesign
then u can create all the records, and export to pdf

hope this is what u need, goodluck, if instructions unclear lemme know

You can use a command line tool named "qrencode" that you run in the Execute Command element. You need a proper formated textfile for qrencode to process and it will save an .eps as a QR Code.

You will find it here: https://fukuchi.org/works/qrencode/
