Abstract
Paper Augmented Digital Documents (PADD), are digital documents that
can be manipulated either on a computer screen or on paper. PADD, and the
infrastructure supporting them, can be seen as a bridge between the digital and
the paper worlds. As digital documents, PADD are easy to edit, distribute and
archive; as paper documents, PADD are easy to navigate, annotate and well
accepted in social settings. The chimeric nature of PADD makes them well suited
for many tasks such as proofreading, editing, and annotation of large format
document like blueprints. We are presenting an architecture which supports the
seamless manipulation of PADs using today's technologies and reports on the
lessons we learned while implementing the first PADD system.
