Well, the QRCode natively just has a bitmap form. The little server app requests that form (perhaps with a border, mirrored, reversed, etc.) and then magnifies it and converts it to a PNG. So, putting the result in a PDF is as trivial or as hard as putting a bitmap form into a PDF. How difficult that is is something that Olivier can perhaps answer. QR codes ultimately just carry some text. We're used to it being a URL but any arbitrary text is possible. Several formats have established themselves. For instance, you can use the VCard format to create a business card QR code. So, there could be some nice uses of QR code where PDF is the right medium.

this is cool I want discussing with olivier and do you think that it would be easy to produce pdf (beside cropping the morph and saving it as png) On 6/10/14 17:49, J.F. Rick wrote:
I've got a new version of the QR Code generator: http://smalltalkhub.com/#!/~JochenRick/QRCode < http://smalltalkhub.com/#%21/%7EJochenRick/QRCode>
This one includes support for MicroQR, for UTF-8 encoding and other aspects of the latest QR standard (e.g., mirroring). I've also written a small Zinc web app which makes it easy to try out.
Enjoy!
