ProjectWise PDF on-demand. mobile connectivity, and QR codes

To the ProjectWise development team.

John Schown visited the UK last week and gave a very good insight into the ProjectWise roadmap for 2011/2012.  Part of the roadmap includes on-demand PDF generation and mobile connectivity to ProjectWise.

An idea is currently being discussed in my organisation that revolves around the use of QR codes.  If a QR code could be printed on a drawing PDF, as part of the PDF on-demand function from ProjectWise, the code could then be scanned by the engineer who is reviewing the document. This would access a URL to a ProjectWise mobile page. The page would provide commands allowing the engineer to accept or reject the document directly through their mobile device, and the response would then update the drawing's workflow status.

This has come about because it is apparent that many engineers do not like using on-screen review tools and processes, and some engineers do not even want to interact with ProjectWise Explorer.  So, we are looking for ways to provide simply connectivity from a paper review process.

I was wondering if the ProjectWise development team have discussed any similar ideas?  Perhaps this is something that would be built into the dynamic review process using the digital pens, rather than QR codes?
