As an example, print a mailer that contains information about a school. The mailer includes a postage-paid business reply card integrated into the mailer.

The document is personalized with the student's name, address, and a personal web link. The design is graphic-intensive, printed on 11 x 17 paper, and folded three times.

FreeForm lets you store a rasterized version of the graphic intensive layout which is common to all pages (send and process the job only once). The variable text (address, name, and web link) is printed separately and merged with the layout at the Fiery Server.

You use no specialized VDP software to build this job: You can use any page layout application to create the FreeForm master and any mail merge function to build and print the variable data.

In this example, you create a master document with all the common elements and save it as a PDF file. You then create the variable document in Microsoft Word and link the variable document to the database, which is a Microsoft Excel file.

The following diagram illustrates the components of the mailer.
