Solved: QR Code Generator not working - Page 2

blaineiler · 01-04-2024 07:54 AM

I have a bot that generates PDFs with QR codes through the Google URL that I believe I found on this forum. I have virtual columns with type of image, using a concatenation of the url and the data I want to pass through as the QR code. Some time yesterday, it stopped working for one of the 3 QR codes we generate, but today it is no longer working for all three. I ran the formula test, found one of the URLs that is being generated, went to it in Chrome manually and it appears fine. Just doesn't appear in the PDF template. Please see screenshots attached. Anyone have any ideas what is going on?

Hi,

I'm having the same problem.

Now I'm using a temporary solution of changing a qr-code generator address from:

https://chart.googleapis.com/chart?chs=250x250&cht=qr&chl=

to:

https://qrcode.tec-it.com/API/QRCode?data=

Hi
Can you share the app which you created where QR code generates pdf ?

Due to google DOC https://developers.google.com/chart/infographics/docs/qr_codes it is deprecated.

Google gave alternative link: https://developers.google.com/chart. Unfortunately there is no alternative to QR codes API.

I use the first sheet to place links, and the second sheet generates qr codes for easy printing. This is the link for the qr code that requests information from YaForms sheet cell A1
