elements and each authoring program does so in a slightly
different manner.
The format you choose can be a stand-alone format that covers all
aspects of document design, data management and text capture
or it can be an extension of an existing program that enables the
creation of VDP documents and VDP jobs.
The CX print server can process VDP jobs that are in one of the
following file formats:
Creo Variable Print Specification (VPS)
Personalized Print Markup Language (PPML)
Variable Data Exchange (VDX)
PostScript
Xerox Variable data Intelligent Postscript Printware (VIPP)
Note: PostScript files are suitable for simple, very short run jobs. All page
elements are re-RIPed for each page. These jobs do not use a VDP
authoring tool at all. Instead, they use a mailmerge function in a Microsoft
Word document or a Microsoft Excel
®
 spreadsheet.
About Variable Print Specification
The Variable Print Specification (VPS) file format is the formal
language developed for Creo color servers. It was designed for the
effective production of Variable data printing (VDP) documents.
The file format is comprehensive and can specify a complete
range of VDP documents. It also provides the means for efficient
implementation—fast and efficient data processing, and storage
prior to printing.
A variable print specification job consists of the following
components:
Booklet
A personalized copy of a document within a single print run
where pages and/or elements within a page may vary from
booklet to booklet.
Sub-job
All copies of a particular document—for example, book,
brochure, or flyer—within a single print run. On the CX print
server, sub-jobs can be deleted, archived, or reprinted at
any time. However, you can still maintain reusable elements
for future runs. Reusable elements are cached elsewhere,
so only the unique data, which is embedded in the job, is
deleted.
