Creating a QR code
A new feature introduced in InDesign CC lets you quickly add QR (short for Quick Re-
sponse) codes to a layout. A QR code is a type of barcode that consists of black or colored
squares arranged in a grid on a white background. The code contains information, such as a
hyperlink, plain text, or a text message, that can be electronically scanned by devices such
as smartphones.
Next, you'll add a QR code to the back page of the newsletter and configure it to open a
web page.
