JDF Roadmap • Interoperability tests • We participate in all Interoperability tests with Prototype software • Challenge is to build interoperability between heterogenous systems • Last Interoperability meeting in San Jose (CA): Esko-Graphics BackStage consumes JDF imposition from Preps (Creo) • Further cooperation initiatives ongoing (MIS, Online collaboration, ...), we will show more real life use-cases at the upcoming Interoperability Meetings. • Conclusion • Esko-Graphics is Full Member of the CIP4 organization and plays an active role in the JDF developments for pre-production workflows. • Key development areas: - PDF as the native data container- JDF as the electronic job-bag • JDF links to 3rd party MIS systems have high priority
