Thanks! 

No problem with ZXing, but as this is ASCII-only that is expected.

The QR code is a vector graphic in the PDF (good, but rare), that required a 
minor tweak in the PDF extractor used by Itinerary to be properly recognized, 
but that works as well now.

Besides being potentially useful for PDF import in KMyMoney, this could also 
enable things like a KMail plugin that automatically detects invoices and 
offers triggering payment for example, similar to what we do with adding travel 
tickets to the calendar :)

Volker
