Not that you're wrong about the PDF spec being monstrously complex and not universally supported, but why would someone want to generate a QR code from form fields? Who actually wants to use QR codes?
- dd36 7y agoA machine that scans forms.
- arcticbull 7y agoHaha, fair, that was just the first painpoint that sprung to mind. They're fairly common on visa and passport applications, and some other government forms. I guess if you're accepting paper submissions for whatever reason not having to transcribe the contents is a big win.
- gibolt 7y agoAnyone in Asia, they are hugely popular and super useful. Adding friends on WeChat, making payments to vendors, getting discounts, installing an app, etc
- geomark 7y agoYep. In my case add friends on Line, buy subway tix, pay at 7-11 and many other places. You can also receive payments to your own QR code.
- nerdbaggy 7y agoQR codes are also super useful in warehouses
- Karunamon 7y agoIf I understand right, they took off pretty much everywhere other than NA for public use. The general vibe I get here is that nobody in the country uses them, and using them is seen as a bit of an anomaly, even scanning one in public makes you a minor spectacle.
- wingerlang 7y agoLike people said, QR codes are huge in Asia. I got one just yesterday to get my movie ticket.
