Job Definition Format
|
|
A system that was created with the purpose of building structure in the output of print applications without restricting the print files to a specific format type such as PDF or HTML. A Job Definition Format (JDF) file contains all of the data relating to a print job, which includes the run length, all materials that are necessary to complete the job, specific productions tasks, delivery date, shipping information, customer data and instructions, and so on. Detailed information allows the job to flow seamlessly through the various steps involved in its production. Job Definition Format increases production efficiency, minimizes costs, allows for a more effortless method in making changes after production begins, and decreases delivery time for the customer. With the increased efficiency and lower labor costs, printers may see an increase in profits and customers may find that the printer may have more leeway in reducing the price of many types of print jobs.
