Abstract

Method for inserting a barcode image in a document including receiving a request to encode one or more properties about the document as a barcode image in the document, the request being received through a document editor, generating the barcode image based on the properties, wrapping the barcode image inside a container object, and inserting the container object into the document.

Description

Background technique [0001] Electronic documents contain metadata or attributes that provide additional information about the file, such as last modification date, author, location of the document on a server, and the like. However, after a document is printed, all metadata associated with the document in electronic format is no longer available on the printed document. Contents of the invention [0002] Described herein are implementations of various techniques for encoding and decoding barcodes on documents using a document editor. In one implementation, the document editor application may include an option on its graphical user interface (GUI) to create a barcode image on the document. Upon receiving an instruction to add a barcode image to a document, the document editor application may present the user with another GUI that may prompt the user to select one or more attributes about the document that he may wish to encode into the barcode image. After receiving user se...
