Personalizing Content
Variable-data printing is a form of digital printing in which elements such as text and graphics
may be changed using information from a database or data file. It prints unique documents with
customized messages for each customer. This is exactly what you can do with Connect: using
variable data you can personalize your company's communications.
Before you can start personalizing the content of a template, you must open a data file or
database; see: "Loading data" on page239.
The most common ways to personalize templates are listed below.
