Spanish term
redacción libre
Spanish to English

Medical (general)
Appears as a sub-heading in an Argentine certificate of good standing for a medical professional.
"Certificado - Redacción libre"
The document is digitally signed by Gestion Documental Electrónica, and I can see from here on Page 5 of their user guide [https://www.argentina.gob.ar/sites/default/files/manual-gedo...] that:
"Documentos de redacción libre: son aquellos documentos en los que **el usuario redacta todo el contenido a partir de un procesador de textos.**"
which I assume is the opposite of "Documentos con template o formularios controlados: son aquellos documentos **cuyos campos de redacción o ingreso de datos están preestablecidos.**"
I cannot think of a way to word this so that it reads naturally in EN. "Free wording/writing/composition" would be suitable if this referred to academic writing or essay writing techniques, but I think is too literal for this particular context.
"Custom certificate/attestation/statement"?
"Non-template certificate/attestation/statement"?

this could be misleading, as the link you posted clearly says:
"Documentos de redacción libre: son aquellos documentos en los que **el usuario redacta todo el contenido a partir de un procesador de textos.**"

free text
There is no best translation of this term, however the Spanish term refers to a free-flowing or freely-written text, so to keep the translation suitably concise, 'free text' seems appropriate.

My attempted translation tries to put more emphasis on the fact that the text below was produced specifically for the purposes of the certificate in question.
