ABSTRACT:
The present invention involves a novel form and methods for creating and using such forms. These forms are summaries (hereinafter "document surrogates") of associated objects, such as original documents, processes, or their copies, stored in a document processing system. A document surrogate made in accordance with the principles of the present invention comprises at least one sheet of a information storing substrate material that has a human readable area and a machine readable area. The human readable area may contain at least one area of material which summarizes the associated object. Such a summary may either be made manually by the user or created automatically by the document processing system. The machine readable area comprises a document reference code that is readable and recognizable by the document processing system. The code is located by the system and recognized from an image of the entire page. The reference code encodes an indicator to the storage location of the associated object. Upon encountering a document surrogate, the system may interpret the surrogate to be the equivalent of its associated object and uses the indicator to access the appropriate object. A mechanism may be provided to the system to either enable or disable this equivalence. If disabled, the system would treat the document surrogate like a typical page in a document.
