Abstract
A method and system in which an electronic document corresponding to a hardcopy of the document is processed. A mark is placed on the hardcopy, the mark containing identification information of the electronic document. The hardcopy document is viewed by an image capture device that captures an image of the hardcopy document. The mark on the image captured by the image capture device is decoded to determine the identification information of the electronic document. The electronic document identified based on the identification information is then processed.
