The usage guide shows which command to run to generate a QR code from a file, and outputs a PDF. But then the command for recovering a file from QR codes takes "file.txt" as input. Is that a typo? Shouldn't that input also be a PDF?

It isn't the PDF you started with once you print it.. A QR code scanner in a camera app, etc, will return text such as a URI.
Ah, makes sense. Thanks.
