• Business rules
Business rules, created in a variable data printing application, specify what variable content
to use and where to place it within your document. According to these predefined rules,
which are described by “if ” and “then” statements, the variable data application uses
particular elements from databases to create personalized pages and documents that
contain different text and images for a specific audience. For example, you can set up
a rule to print specific content for a specific age range.
