Create a variable document for use with FreeForm

Creating the variable document requires a desktop publishing application that provides a mail merge function, a database application, or a page layout application that supports scripting.

Your application takes information from a list or database and merges it into an existing document that accepts the master information. Each application has different controls for this function.

  1. From your supported application, create the variable document to conform to the layout of the master document.
  2. Add the variable information in the appropriate places in your document.
    Note: The variable document must have the same page count as the master page document. For example, if a master document has a record length of four pages, all the variable documents must have a record length of four pages. You can use Enhanced FreeForm to add empty pages to the last record of the variable document, if necessary.
