Abstract

A method for printing a copy of a multi-page patent document originally stored on a remote server (17). In the method, a user uses a keyboard (7) to input to a personal computer (1) a request for a multi-page patent document. The personal computer (1) translates the request into a plurality of URLs corresponding to the location of pages of the multi-page patent document on the server (17). The local computer uses the URLs to communicate with the server (17) via the world wide web (15), and copies the pages of the multi-page patent document from the server (17), so that they can be printed out on a printer (13).
