Heidelberg Presents at drupa JDF Showcase for Creation

05/05/2004


JDF technology brings creation and print production closer

Heidelberger Druckmaschinen AG (Heidelberg) and Adobe Systems Incorporated will showcase JDF technology in action at drupa 2004 between May 6 and 19 in Düsseldorf. The two foundation members of the CIP organization and pioneers of JDF are teaming up to promote JDF demonstrations and presentations based on the open CIP4 standard.

Collaboration in the Heidelberg drupa booth in hall 2 will feature JDF demonstrations and presentations. The presentations in the Prinect Center will describe how the XML-based job ticket file format improves communications between document creators and print production - and how JDF automates print workflows. The Adobe JDF concept demonstration will showcase how JDF files can be generated from the desktop using Adobe Creative Suite, a complete publishing platform and design environment for creating and publishing content quickly, easily and efficiently. The JDF information will link to the content in the PDF document and be used for quoting and production setup by the print provider. Heidelberg will import this information into its Prinect Prinance MIS system and Prinect Printready System, both JDF-enabled, demonstrating a complete end-to-end JDF and PDF workflow.

"With JDF the communication between the creative professionals in our industry and the Print providers will get easier, safer, quicker, and thus more cost effective" said Dr. Peter Leu Vice President Prinect Preprint Workflow of Heidelberg. "Heidelberg is fully committed to implement the open JDF standard and welcomes the opportunity to show a prominent example of this together with its long term partner Adobe on drupa 2004".

"Adobe and industry innovators such as Heidelberg are helping drive JDF adoption throughout the creative industries," said Don Walker, General Manager, publishing technologies and services group at Adobe. "At drupa 2004, Adobe is demonstrating a concept of how JDF integrated into Adobe Creative Suite can radically simplify information exchange between the applications and systems essential to the graphics arts industry."
