policopiado is to xerox as vacuum is to hoover!
from O ACORDO ORTOGRÁFICO DO NOSSO DESACORDO:
Para finalizar faço ardentes votos, para que o próximo Acordo não seja lexical e assim os meus netos e descendentes, não serem obrigados a escrever e a dizer: "roupa de griffe" em vez de roupa de marca; a chamar "marrom" à cor castanha; a dizer "deletar" em vez de apagar ou eliminar; a chamar "mídia" aos media ou meios de comunicação social; ou dizer "printar" em vez de imprimir, fazer uma impressão gráfica; ou ainda usar a marca de um equipamento "Xerox" e dizer "xerocar" ao invés de dizer que vai policopiar.

Note from asker:
| The only trouble with this is that in European Portuguese (which we are dealing with here) the standard term is "fotocopiar" and it would be extremely unusual not to use that. Therefore I think this has a more specific meaning. I'm inclined to agree with multicopy document as I think the idea is to distinguish a published/printed document from one that is merely created by printing out several copies, rather than being sent to a printer. |

Sure, the most modern references I can find to this are from India in the 1980s - anything European stops cerca 1920s!

| Thanks Abi, but in this case the reference is to recent documents created by the European Commission - I should have pointed that out. |

(mechanically) reproduced document
If you look at this site, they refer to cyclostyles and mimeograph machines (Yikes-haven't seen one of them since I was a kid! Remember the purple ink and the smell?). Perhaps it's just an "official" way of saying that it was reproduced (and perhaps bound) in multiple copies.
