JDF To Be or Not to Be --Waldman

"As JDF becomes an accepted and accredited standard, many more suppliers will conform with the specification, making CIM a reality instead of a dream," Mauro contends. "The momentum is already evident with over 250 members of the CIP4 organization. Even though JDF is still a new subject that meets with some skepticism, it will ultimately be received with the same high regard as other well-accepted standards like PPF (Print Production Format) and PDF (Portable Document Format)—all standards that are contributing to and paving the way for JDF's success."
