Abstract
Computer-readable media having computer-executable instructions provide support for the printing of documents containing embedded interactive code information in conjunction with different applications that include Microsoft Word, Microsoft PowerPoint®, and Microsoft InfoPath™. With a Microsoft Word document, the contents and the associated portion of the EIC pattern are printed page by page. A virtual printer intercepts a spooled printed job and saves the associated enhanced metafile. Subsequently, the EMF and the associated EIC pattern for each page are printed. With a Microsoft PowerPoint® document, each page is printed with a selected number of slides and with an associated portion of the EIC pattern. A note-taking section and play control buttons may be printed. For a Microsoft InfoPath™ document, an HTML document is obtained from the InfoPath XML document before printing. Microsoft InfoPath prints the image of one page with the associated EIC pattern.
