Abstract
A method for managing a first version and a second version of an electronic document (ED), including: obtaining a request to print the first version of the ED; generating, in response to the request, a print job based on the first version of the ED and identifying a storage location of the second version of the ED, of which at least a part of contents is different from the first version of the ED; and sending the print job to a printer to generate a hardcopy document (HD) based on the first version of the ED, where the HD includes a graphical element specifying the storage location of the second version of the ED, and where the second version of the ED is accessible to a reader of the HD by visiting the storage location specified in the graphical element of the HD.
