GOAL:
What is JDF?
FIX:
JDF is based on a special form of Extensible Markup Language (XML), a non-proprietary information carrier that can link and refer files to multiple production devices. Using JDF, one can describe the intent of a printed piece, as well as each process step required to achieve that intent. Think of it as a smart, self-directed electronic job jacket that holds not only the job content, but also instructions to interact with other JDF-enabled devices, automatically routing the job through each workflow step - from creation to final print production - yielding greater automation, speed, cost efficiency, and ease-of-use.
