A system for conferring interactivity on a pre-printed image containing
text, the image having been scanned and had a position-coding pattern
printed thereon, the position-coding pattern identifying a plurality of
absolute positions and an impression identity for the image, the system
comprising a computer system configured for: (i) receiving association
data indicating an association between the impression identity, the
plurality of absolute positions and a scanned image; (ii) performing
Optical Character Recognition (OCR) on the scanned image to convert text
images into computer text; (iii) generating an input description for the
scanned image, the input description describing words of computer text
and zones of corresponding text images in the scanned image; and (iv)
storing a page description comprising the input description and the
scanned image, the page description being indexed with the impression
identity, wherein the page description is retrievable so as to confer
interactivity on the image.
