5-3 Printing variable data documents with FreeForm
When you have finalized the design of the master document, print it to the Fiery and
specify that a FreeForm master be created from the job (see page 5-8).

and Fiery Spooler allow you to select numbers 1 through 15 only. To create a

has different controls for this function; for detailed instructions, see the application
documentation. Before the variable elements can be added to the master document,
