Abstract
A computer-implemented method for processing paper forms includes capturing at a computer system an image of a paper form in which information has been filled-in. A location identifier is extracted from the image. The location identifier indicates an address in a storage location external to the computer system, at which the filled-in information is electronically stored. The information is retrieved responsively to the location identifier by communication with the storage location via a wide area network (WAN), so as to convey the information electronically from the storage location to the computer system. The information is processed using a data processing application running on the computer system.
