Print variable data documents with FreeForm 2

FreeForm 2 extends the functionality of FreeForm. Using FreeForm with a third-party printing application that supports FreeForm 2, you can create multiple page masters for more personalization and customization of your documents.

You can use a master created in another application, and then use a third-party application that supports FreeForm 2 to combine the design and database information.

FreeForm 2 and the third-party VDP application allow you to specify page conditions that determine rules for individual master pages. These rules, described by "if" and "then" statements in each master page, allow you to skip or print pages within a master file.

FreeForm 2 also lets you delete a specified FreeForm master from the Fiery Server after its corresponding variable data job has been successfully processed and printed. You can set this feature in a third-party application that supports clearing FreeForm masters.

  1. Open the variable document in a third-party VDP application that supports FreeForm 2.
  2. Select FreeForm 2 when you send the variable document.
  3. Print the document.
