Abstract: A computing system receives a request to create a digital data object from a user device of a user. The request includes user data for the digital data object. The computing system generates the digital data object based on one or more parameters of the user data. The computing system generates a quick response (QR) code associated with the digital data object. The QR code uniquely identifies the digital data object. The computing system causes a physical copy of the digital data object to be printed by causing display of the QR code on an output device, and causing scanning of the QR code. The scanning of the QR code causes a printer to print the physical copy of the digital data object.
