WORKFLOW SOFTWARE -- Betting on a System

Rampage Systems has been previewing Rampage JVX, an automated prepress workflow supporting the JDF standard, which it expected to begin shipping in fourth quarter of this year. Key features of the upgrade include automatic imposition using templates in JDF format from third-party applications and integration with MIS packages via JMF. Among the other enhancements are remote job submission via FTP hot folders, an Adobe Distiller plug-in for cleaning incoming PDF files and automatic document versioning.
