Printing variable data documents with FreeForm 2 FreeForm 2 extends the functionality of variable data documents using a third-party application that supports FreeForm 2 such as Altas PrintShop Mail-Fiery Version which allows you to create and print variable data documents. To print a variable data job using FreeForm 2, you first open the variable document in the third-party application. The third-party application provides FreeForm 2 features that allow you to assign a specific page of a FreeForm master to each page of the variable document. FreeForm 2 enables you to specify page conditions that determine rules for individual Master pages. These rules, described by if and then statements in each Master page, can allow you to skip or print pages within a Master file. For more information on creating page conditions, see the documentation that came with the third-party printing software. 5 5-13 Printing documents from variable-data printing applications For instructions on creating a variable data job or printing variable data jobs using FreeForm 2 and the third-party variable data printing software, see the documentation that came with the third-party printing software.

You can set this feature in a third-party application that supports the clearing of FreeForm masters. For more information on deleting FreeForm masters, see the documentation that came with the third-party printing software. Printing documents from variable-data printing applications As an alternative to FreeForm or FreeForm 2, you can design the master and variable elements of your job using a variable-data printing application, such as Pageflex Persona-Fiery Version.

To print documents in PPML format, use a third-party software application that is compatible with PPML format, such Pageflex Persona-Fiery Version or download a PPML file using Command WorkStation. To print Creo VPS files, use a compatible Creo VPS application, or you can download a VPS file to Fiery Downloader or Command WorkStation.
