Abstract
Method, system, and computer program product for generating a machine-readable code for an electronic document are disclosed. A user interface receives an input for defining one or more areas of interest in the electronic document. One or more location identifiers are determined corresponding to each of the one or more areas of interest. The machine-readable code is then generated for the electronic document based on the one or more location identifiers. Further, the machine-readable code is embedded in the electronic document. The machine-readable code when scanned and decoded enables extracting of one or more descriptors (e.g., text written in various locations specified by the one or more location identifiers). The one or more descriptors are used for at least one of naming the electronic document or determining the one or more attributes of the message.
