Saving a generated QR Code as image / PDF file

    Hello,
    I have successfully been using the plugin to generate a QR code from dynamic content, passing the parameters from a membership plugin called ARMember to Kaya QR Code Generator. The syntax is as follows:
    [kaya_qrcode_dynamic][arm_firstname_lastname][/kaya_qrcode_dynamic]
    Everything works great, so first of all, thank you for the plugin.

    I have a need for registered users on my site to be able to download their personalized QR code (the code contains their first name, last name, and some other data) in PDF or PNG/JPG format, so they can keep it on their devices without having to visit the website each time to view it (the code is used as a ticket for events). Is there any way to implement this function? I tried installing some plugins to generate PDFs out of WP pages, but they all failed because they saved the code line that generates the QR code instead of the QR code image itself.

    Currently, the only way to save the QR code is for the user to click “save image as” while it’s being displayed and save it. However, I would like to provide a simpler option by adding a “Download” button below the QR code.

    Is it possible to achieve this somehow? Could this be considered as a feature request for a future version?

    Thank you!

    Hello,
    Thank you for your comment and for using ‘Kaya QR Code Generator’.

    Indeed the generated image cannot currently be used in the PDF generation via the WP page, and the only way to be able to recover it is to save it manually via right click.

    I take note of the possibility of adding a download button on the public part, and I will see what is possible for a next update.

    Best regards.
