I have to digitize a few thousand physical documents and assign them to a variety of categories for a web app where they will be displayed.

Should I generate bar codes for each of the documents to uniquely identify them?

If so, how can I avoid the barcode being present in the scanned image?

Any other recommendations for approaching this?
