Printing variable data documents with FreeForm
In FreeForm variable data printing, you can use print options to define master 
documents and assign them to variable data jobs sent to the Fiery.
How FreeForm works
The basic premise of FreeForm variable data printing is that the master-element data 
for the job can be sent to the Fiery and rasterized separately from the variable-element 
data. The master-element data is stored on the Fiery in rasterized form as a FreeForm 
master, and can be used as often as needed with multiple sets of variable-element 
data. Because the FreeForm master job is preRIPped and stored on the Fiery, the 
only RIP time required for variable data print jobs is the time needed to RIP the 
variable-element data. You can use FreeForm masters for any fixed-element data you 
might combine with different data from day to day. For example, a letterhead template 
can be stored as a FreeForm master and used repeatedly as the background for different 
letter content (the variable-element data).
FreeForm allows you to create the master and variable documents using any 
application. You can create the two documents using different applications or 
computer platforms. To create the masters document, you can use a page layout or 
graphics application. To create the variable document, you can use a word processing 
application that has a mail merge feature, a page layout application that supports 
scripting, or a database application.
FreeForm functions are controlled with two print options: Create Master and Use 
Master. You can set these options in the printer driver when you send a job, or instruct 
the operator to set them with job overrides from Command WorkStation, Fiery
