13. A method comprising:
-
obtaining electronic data corresponding to a physical application document; analyzing the electronic data to detect steganographic indicia encoded therein, the steganographic indicia comprising a plural-bit identifier; determining, based at least in part on the steganographic indicia, a relative location of a first area and a second area with respect to the printed document; based at least in part on detected steganographic indicia, generating an electronic version of the physical application document including a portion to receive requested application information from an applicant, in which said generating utilizes at least the relative location of the first area and the second area to spatially position a first field and a second field within the electronic version, the first field and the second field comprising fields to receive user input; and associating the plural-bit identifier with a plurality of records associated with the applicant or the physical application document. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15)
