JDF Basics

These pages provide a basic introduction to JDF and JMF. I still need to add a basic tutorial but fortunately there are already many on those available on the web.

The following topics provide more elaborate information about JDF:

  • Anatomy of a job
  • Which systems can be JDF-enabled?
  • How do systems talk to each other?
