I’m using the QR Code component in Vision for dynamic QR generation, but I’ve hit a roadblock: I need to embed a QR code into a PDF report, and the Vision component can’t be used in reports. The report should include a QR code that links to an external dashboard or document (e.g. a cloud-hosted report or audit trail).  
What’s the best way to approach this?

The Reporting module's Barcode component supports QR and other 2D codes.
