A system is provided for copying interactive documents which has a copier
for scanning a surface of a document, a computer system networked with
the copier and a printer networked with the computer system. The document
is printed with document content and a plurality of coded tags. Each tag
encodes an identity of the document and the position of that tag on the
document. The copier incorporates a sensor for sensing the coded tags.
The computer system identifies a digital version of the document from the
document identity of a sensed tag and determines user input, requesting
copy content and/or coded data from the computer system, on the scanned
document using the tag position of the sensed tag. The printer prints a
copy of the scanned document to incorporate the scanned document content
and coded tags and the requested copy content and/or coded data.
