JDF Update -- Print Connectivity

Ten years ago Adobe introduced PDF—the most efficient file format to send to the RIP. Yet print providers needed more control of the PDF files that customers were sending to them. Adobe responded with the recently introduced Adobe Acrobat 6.0 Professional.

At Drupa 2004, Adobe will encourage industry-wide adoption of the JDF standard by demonstrating practical examples of how the XML-based job ticket file format can improve communication, from document creation to production, and automate print workflows.
