Create a variable data job
What is a variable data job
Variable data printing is used for direct marketing, advertising, and personalised letters.
PRISMAprepare and other document authoring tools allow for building personalised documents.
Variable data, for example names and addresses, are merged with fixed elements and saved as
multi-record documents

[173] Creation of personalised documents
PRISMAsync Print Server supports PDF/VT level 1 and PPML for variable data printing. PDF/VT
follows the latest PDF standards. (
PRISMAsync Print Server RIP (raster image processor) on
) When PRISMAsync Print Server receives a variable data print job, it automatically
distinguishes the record structure. Records are treated as print sets. Records do not necessarily
contain the same number of pages. The number of pages per record depends on the length of the
variable data in each personalised document.
The printing of a variable data job is like the printing of a normal job.
• Print a proof.
• Check the first record. (
Change original settings of the job on page 154
• Print a range of records.
• Interrupt the printing after a certain record, and resume printing of the job later.
• Change the settings of the job. Be aware that when you change the settings of a variable data
job, the settings apply to all records of the job.
Convert a job to a variable data job
A large PDF job that has a record structure in itself - for example a file with multiple personalised
documents - can be converted into a variable data job via the job properties. This is helpful when
you want to print only a part of the document (one or more records).
