I'd like to create a WB that is capable of QR code batch production to a PDF suitable for printing. The input would be a spreadsheet containing the QR codes (text) in a column. I have the QR Code Generator but not sure how to enable it to write multiple codes. Does anyone have experience with this or recommend a B build?

The QR Code Generator will produce a QR code for each input sent to it, so you just need to send multiple features in and set the data parameter to the relevant attribute to get multiple qr rasters out

Uneducated question, this is the transformer, but there's no QR code writer?

The output is a raster image so you can just need to choose a raster format to write to, e.g. png, jpg etc.

Hi @jhawks​  appreciate the bump. We got our QR codes printed at a sign writer and they have software to generate the codes on our behalf. So in the end I didn't need FME for the batch generation. For some reason I couldn't get the transformer to generate more than one QR code so not sure what I was doing wrong. I will take another look today.

Were you able to get it to do batch conversion? Since the text input is done in the transformer, it seems impossible, unless I'm missing something (likely).
