	Adobe - Job Definition Format (JDF)
		Job Definition Format (JDF) is the print communication industry’s most highly anticipated standard since Adobe® PostScript® and the Portable Document Format (PDF).
		In an industry where cost and time efficiency are paramount, JDF promises to usher in a new era of workflow automation.
		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.

	Job Definition Format - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Job Definition Format (JDF) is a technical standard being developed by the graphic arts industry to facilitate cross-vendor workflow implementations of the application domain.
		JDF was initiated by Adobe Systems, Agfa, Heidelberg and MAN Roland in 1999 but handed over to CIP3 at DRUPA 2000.
		JDF PARC, a multivendor JDF interoperability demonstration, was a major event at the 2004 DRUPA print industry show, and featured 21 vendors demonstrating, or attempting to demonstrate interoperability between a total of about forty pairs of products.

	Job Definition Format-JDF4
		JDF makes it possible to create a digital equivalent to the conventional job bag, turning it from basic utility into a management tool in a single stroke.
		According to CIP4 "JDF is a comprehensive XML-based file format/proposed industry standard for end-to-end job ticket specifications combined with a message description standard and message interchange protocol." Probably the most important characteristic of JDF is the fact that it is designed to be all encompassing.
		JDF has the scope to reference all aspects of a job from the initial design and creative stages through to final prepress production, file distribution, and final archiving, regardless of output media.

	To JDF or Not - Sept 2005
		JDF is billed as a common approach to defining and executing jobs, and is supposed to take some of the confusion out of the production process.
		Vutek, as perhaps the large format printer company with the most installs, is also in a good position to move the JDF concept along.
		Keep in mind that JDF is not a specific process, but a set of reporting rules that runs to 600 pages and is subject to significant interpretation and confusion.

	Cover Pages: Job Definition Format (JDF)
		JDF can be used to describe a printing job logically, as you would in exchanging a job description with a client within an estimate.
		JDF follows the time-honored tradition of a comprehensive physical job ticket: a reliable reference point for a job that can be understood -- and easily interacted with -- by many individuals.

	JDF (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-30)
		JDF (Job Definition Format) is a technical standard being developed by the prepress industry to facilitate cross-vendor prepress workflow implementations.
		It then modifies the JDF message to describe what it has done, and examines the JDF message to determine where the message and accompanying files should be sent next.
		The long-term goal of CIP4 and the JDF format is to encompass the whole life cycle of a print and cross-media job, including device automation and job-floor mechanical production process, including even such things as bindery, assembly of finished products on palettes.

		JDF is a comprehensive XML-based file format/proposed industry standard for end-to-end job ticket specifications combined with a message description standard and message interchange protocol.
		On workgroup printers the normal way of working is for the data to be put in the job spool and held until the interpreter is ready (when it has finished printing the current job), at which point the job is automatically printed.
		The print job only needs to be sent to the printer once to store it in the job spool, but it can be printed several times from the job spool, which reduces the amount of time the computer needs to spend sending the data to the printer.

	WPC - Understanding JDF -
		To make JDF a truly vendor-neutral data exchange standard it is necessary to work out specific Interoperability Conformance Specification (ICS) and perform Interoperability Testing so that all systems use the same definition format.
		When JDF finishes validating the project components and the process is ready to begin, it sends the data to all departments and partners that will participate in the execution and delivery of the project.
		If the system knows that the job is distributed over two or more print sites, JDF takes all the data that has been entered to date, travels with the files and executes processes automatically at the remote sites.

	IT-Enquirer - QuarkXPress 7: Job Jackets
		Job Jackets are a desktop publisher’s dream come true, because they allow a job manager (the client, a prepress professional, or the DTP’er herself) to define the parameters which must be respected throughout the DTP workflow inside QuarkXPress.
		Job Jackets are sort of a preflighting tool before the work has finished and errors have found their way in the layout and the project.
		The fact that Quark dedicated a complete chapter to Job Jackets is proof of their complexity, but the reality is that Job Jackets are not more complex than any other technology used in modern desktop publishing environments.
