The page length of the FreeForm master document defines each record in a FreeForm job. FreeForm maps the pages from the variable
document to the record length defined by the FreeForm master until all the variable document pages are used.
FreeForm Multipage Previews — With bidirectional communication enabled, the EFI Fiery Driver provides the user with multipage
previews of FreeForm masters. This allows visual confirmation of selected FreeForm masters whose static content spans multiple pages.

Prior to System 10/10e, if a page required no variable elements and there was not an exact one-to-one correspondence between the
number of pages in the variable document and the number of pages in the master document, the user had to add blank pages to the
source document to ensure that mapping was handled properly.
As an example, imagine a company needs to distribute a personalized newsletter to its customers. This newsletter has four pages and
only two of those pages — the front cover with the name of the customer and a personalized image, and the back cover with the mailing
address and a custom ad — contain variable information.
