1. A method for automatic review of a variable information job, the method comprising: creating an expected document database containing expected images of variable information documents; providing a data record in a data records database, the data record including information pertaining to a variable information document; providing a template representing a designed document; providing at least one data asset in a digital assets database for use on the variable information document; merging the data record from the data records database with a digital asset from the digital assets database using the template to form merged content defining the variable information job; performing raster image processing on the merged content to produce an electronic output document; performing a proofing procedure for the electronic output document, the proofing procedure comprising: obtaining a sample document from the variable information job, comparing the sample document to a selected one of the expected images for determining a difference between the sample document and the one expected image, determining if the difference is a first-encountered or a previously-encountered difference, in response to the difference being a first-encountered difference, presenting in the sample document the difference between the sample document and the expected image, receiving an operator response specifying a corrective procedure for handling the difference, and storing the operator response for future handling of the difference as a previously-encountered difference; and, after the proofing, producing a final product.
