This is very interesting. What about the program using a code that is
transmitted to the company holding the electronic document. That
could be used to be sure only qualified people have access to the
document. I know there are many problems with this suggestion but it
is dreaming right with you.

As my vision has waned and my loathing of paper increases in leaps and

to digital documents.
I've noticed that much corporate correspondence I get contains QR codes on
the document usually near an address. This has sparked my curiosity and
made
me wonder if we could use those to get information easier than scanning the
document with an OCR app. I assume that such QR codes are keys into a
private database used by the company making it easier for those who need
the
information to get it with a SmartPhone or other digital method. But I'm
hoping for some sort of confirmation from those of you who have experience
with QR codes on documents. I've tried scanning these document codes using
an appropriate app on my iPhone but as expected, nothing happens.
I'm trying to envision a day when documents could be accessed from a
cloud-based server via a simple scan of a QR code using an iPhone. I
realize
with privacy concerns and all the private companies involved, this access
by
ordinary citizens is extremely unlikely but a dream has to start somewhere.
Thanks for any comments.
