How do I create a VDP
job? Hands-on tutorial

Overview

The aim of this tutorial is to give you hands-on experience with the
Darwin software. By the time you complete this tutorial, you should be
able to use the Darwin features that enable you to print a variable data
printing (VDP) job.

To practice creating a Darwin job, you can use the files that come with
this guide. Using these files, you will create a promotional mailer for
male and female customers of a jewelry store. The jewelry store is
interested in displaying different offerings for male and female
customers based on a season (winter or summer) and on the
customer's gender. A graphic artist has already created a promotional
mailer in InDesign CS3 based on the variable data that the jewelry store
has defined. Your job is to work on the InDesign CS3 pages and to define
and insert all the variable data according to the following criteria:

Each mailer is personally addressed to the customer.

The salutation varies according to the gender of the customer.

Each mailer displays images and colors based on a specific season
and the gender of the customer.
