6. Save the document.
7. From the PlanetPress Design Button, choose Print, select the printer or printers on which you want
to install the master document, clear Optimized PostScript Stream, clear Print to file, set the
Number of copies to 1, and click OK. Remember that the printers you select must be running
FreeForm.
To associate a FreeForm document with a FreeForm master document:
1. In PlanetPress Design, open the document in which you want to reference the FreeForm master
document.
2. Double-click on the Document node to display the Document properties dialog box.
3. In the Document properties dialog box, click Compilation options.
4. In the Caching method box, select FreeForm.
5. Set the Document number box to the index number of the FreeForm master document you want the
document to use.
6. Click OK to exit the Document dialog box.
7. Save the document.
Now when you execute the document on the printer on which the FreeForm is running, each page of the
document includes the contents of the master document you specified in the document number box.
Remember that in FreeForm, if a master document has more than one page, when the document that
calls the master page executes, it cycles through the pages of the master document.

6.2.7 Create and Use FreeForm 2 Documents in PlanetPress Design
The properties of all the pages of a FreeForm 2 document must include the ID of the FreeForm 2 master
document as well as the number of the page to use when printing.
In this example, two FreeForm 2 master documents reside on the printer. To the printer, they are known as
Report1 and Report2. Any of the pages of any FreeForm 2 document sent to that printer can use any of the
pages of any of these FreeForm 2 master documents. The first page of a document may use the first page of
the Report1 master document and the second page of that same document may use the third page of the
Report2 master document.
To create a FreeForm 2 master document:
1. In PlanetPress Design, create the document you want to use as the master document.
2. Double-click on the Document node to display the Document properties dialog box.
3. In the Document properties dialog box, click Compilation options.
4. In the Caching method box, select FreeForm 2 and set the FreeForm 2 options that appear.
This document is a master: Select to make the current document a master document.
Master ID: Enter the name for the master document. This is the name you use when you want to
reference this master document. The name can contain a maximum of 64 characters. It cannot start
with either formC or formU, and cannot contain any of the following characters: char(0) through
char(32), vertical bar (|), forward slash (/), backward slash (\), asterisk (*), question mark (?), double-
quote ("), single quote ('), grave accent (), colon (:), less than sign (<), greater than sign (>). You
should make certain the name you enter is not that of an existing master document on the printer on
which you intend to install this master document. If the name is the same, this master document
overwrites the existing master document when you install it.
5. Click OK
6. From the PlanetPress Design Button, choose Print, select the printer or printers on which you want
to install the master document, clear Optimized PostScript Stream, clear Print to file, set the
Number of copies to 1, and click OK. Remember that the printers you select must be running
FreeForm 2.
