Abstract
A system and method for the selective sharing of an electronic document. The method enables a user to share access to an electronic document stored on a repository on a document management system. A user, via a document processing services network, generates a password and token corresponding to the document to be shared. The token provides information regarding the electronic document to be shared and the way the shared document will be made available to other users. The user then gives the token along with the password to the other users desiring to have access to the shared document. The other users are then able to retrieve the electronic document via email, viewing on a web browser, or printing at a multifunction peripheral device.
