> Generate and customize Scanova QR Codes inside Photoshop, InDesign, and Premiere Pro.

The Adobe integration is a set of Scanova plugins for Adobe Creative Cloud apps, distributed through Adobe Exchange — not an OAuth connection. Nothing syncs back into Scanova; it lets you generate a QR Code without leaving your Adobe workflow.

<Note>
  This is a **Design** category integration. It has no "Active connection" state and doesn't count against your integration connection quota — clicking through it in Scanova just opens the Adobe Exchange listing.
</Note>

## Prerequisites

* A Scanova account (any plan).
* The Adobe Creative Cloud desktop app, with Photoshop, InDesign, or Premiere Pro installed.

## Installing the plugin

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open the integration from Scanova">
    In the Scanova dashboard, go to **Integrations** in the left sidebar, click **Browse all integrations**, then filter to the **Design** category. Click **Setup** on the **Adobe Creative Cloud** card to open its setup panel.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Open the Adobe Exchange listing">
    Click **Open in marketplace**. This opens a Scanova search on [Adobe Exchange](https://exchange.adobe.com/apps/browse/cc?listingType=plugins\&page=1\&product=All\&q=scanova\&sort=RELEVANCE) in a new tab.

  </Step>

  <Step title="Install from Creative Cloud Desktop">
    Alternatively, install directly from the desktop app:

    1. Open the **Creative Cloud Desktop** app and select the **Stock & Marketplace** tab.
    2. Click the **Plugins** tab.
    3. Search for **Scanova** to view the full suite of plugins.
    4. Click **Install** on the plugin for your workflow (for example, Scanova QR Codes for Photoshop).
  </Step>

  <Step title="Generate a QR Code inside your Adobe app">
    Open the installed plugin's panel from within Photoshop, InDesign, or Premiere Pro and sign in with your Scanova account to start generating QR Codes on the canvas or timeline.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## What it's for

Use this when your design work happens in Adobe's apps — packaging layouts in InDesign, ad creative in Photoshop, video overlays in Premiere Pro — and you want a Scanova QR Code placed directly into that file rather than exported and re-imported as a static image.
