Creating the master document
Before you can use FreeForm, you must create a master document and a variable document.
This includes creating the layout for the combined document, as well as individual elements.
In a page layout or graphics application, arrange the master elements (text and graphics that
do not change) on one or more pages, leaving space for the variable elements.

After you finalize the design of the master document, print it to the Fiery EXP8000/50 and

Although the Fiery EXP8000/50 can store up to 100 FreeForm masters, the printer
driver interface only allows you to select numbers 1 through 15. To create a FreeForm master
with a number greater than 15, the operator must create the master page and RIP the job
from Command WorkStation.

from Command WorkStation.
Creating the variable document
You can create the variable document with a word processing application that provides a mail
merge function, a database application, or a page layout application that supports scripting.
In all cases, information is taken from a list or database and merged into an existing document
that is designed to accept the information. Each application has different controls for this
function. For detailed instructions, see the documentation that accompanies the application.
Before you add variable elements to the master document, format them to conform to the
layout of the master document. To do this, create a document with the correct formatting,
and then add the variable information in the appropriate places.
