How to create QR Code barcode in PDF file with web link added using C#.NET
The following content and C# sample source code to show how to create QR Code barcode in an existing PDF file, and create, insert a web link on the QR Code in the PDF document using C#.NET
- Create a new QRCode object
- Set QR Code encoding data "https://www.rasteredge.com".
- Set QR Code barcode size options
- Create a new PDFDocument from an existing PDF file
- Get a new PDFPage object from the first page of the PDF document
- Generate and print QR Code on the PDFPage object
- Create a new PDFLinkAction object to add a web link to PDF page
- Set the web link position and area which is the same position and area as QR Code
- Add, insert the web link object to the PDF page
- Save the PDF file
Note: web link covered area width and height calculation is based on PDF document default resolution (96 dpi). Two inch is 192 dpi.
