Style Object

Lede. Applies an InDesign object style to a QR-code or barcode frame.

Group: Style · Available in: QR Code Placeholder, Barcode Placeholder · Central node: No

Purpose

• Apply an InDesign object style (border, drop shadow, padding) to the generated QR-code or barcode frame.
• Conditionally style only on records that match an upstream gate value.

Where to find it

Add Node ▸ Style ▸ Object Style (inside a QR-code or barcode placeholder workspace).

How it works

Same mechanism as Style Image but without the fit / align overrides – QR codes and barcodes don’t expose those. Pick an object style; the directive flows into the placeholder’s Style socket.

The DataInput is the conditional gate (non-empty upstream value → apply, empty → skip).

Example (end-to-end)

Scenario. Add a soft drop shadow to all QR codes.

Wiring. [Style Object: "QR Shadow"] → [Placeholder.Style].

Empty / error behaviour

• Same as the other Style nodes.

Limitations

• Object style only. No type-specific settings (size, error-correction level, …) – those live on the placeholder.

Common pitfalls

• The object style is missing in the popup. Re-import the layout to refresh the catalogue.

Related nodes

• Style Image – similar but with image-fit overrides.
• Placeholder – QR Code, Placeholder – Barcode – the consumers.
