QUESTION: What is JDF?
ANSWER: JDF stands for
"Job Definition Format." It is an upcoming industry
standard designed to simplify information exchange
between different applications and systems in and around
the Graphic Arts industry. To that end JDF builds on and
extends beyond pre-existing partial solutions, such as
CIP3's Print Production Format (PPF) and
Adobe Systems' Portable Job Ticket Format (PJTF).
It also enables the integration of commercial and
planning applications into the technical workflow.
JDF joins the growing number of standards based on
XML,
ensuring maximum possible portability between different
platforms and ready interaction with Internet-based systems.
More information about JDF is available at
www.cip4.org.
Information about PJTF and PPF is available at
www.adobe.com and
www.agfa.com
(search for PJTF or PPF).
