1. A method of performing an action, the method comprising the steps of:
- sensing by a sensing device a print medium to obtain data encoded on a surface of the print medium, the data encoding at least a print media identifier, the print medium being provided with first coded data in a linear format and second coded data in a form of a two-dimensional pattern, the first and second coded data encoding the print media identifier;
determining by a processor the print media identifier from the first or second coded data;
retrieving by the processor a digital copy of a document, the digital copy being associated with the print media identifier and including one or more hyperlinks;
displaying by the processor on a display device the digital copy of the document;
receiving by the processor a selection from a user of one of the one or more hyperlinks; and
performing by the processor a predefined action designated by the selected hyperlink.

Abstract
A method of performing an action is disclosed. The method starts by sensing a print medium to obtain data encoded on a surface of the print medium. The data encodes at least a print media identifier. The print media identifier is determined from the data and a digital copy of a document is retrieved, the digital copy being associated with the print media identifier and including one or more hyperlinks. The digital copy of the document is displayed and a selection of one of the hyperlinks is received from a user. A predefined action designated by the selected hyperlink is then performed.
