FAQ

Can event PDFs be compressed without losing QR codes?

Test the QR code and inspect schedules, dates, venue information, and ticket identifiers. Keep the source until the final recipient, portal, or reviewer has accepted the output.

Does PDFStay guarantee that every event registration PDF will be accepted?

No. PDF behavior depends on the source file, browser memory, document features, and the destination system. Follow the destination instructions and verify the exact output.
