Hello eglocer,

When using the QR-Code Font and Encoder Suite with an installation to Crystal Reports using the Barcode Font Encoder Formulas for Crystal Reports, the QR Codes will either get larger or smaller based on the amount of data in that specific barcode. The barcodes that are appearing normally have slightly less data than the ones that appear distorted, and the distortion is happening because the field is not large enough to contain the entire barcode.

Try making the field larger until the barcodes appear normally, and then use the point size of the font to make the barcode smaller if necessary for space, as per Step 10 of the above-linked Font Formula tutorial.
