Drew Sprague, President of Solimar Systems and Pat McGrew, Managing Director of McGrewGroup, discuss why defining workflows ahead of finishing in print production environments is critical to an efficient time to market (or delivery), and optimal cost-containment.
In this latest Solimar Systems video series, Pat McGrew, Managing Director of McGrewGroup, and Drew Sprague, President of Solimar Systems, discuss the concept of Piece Level Tracking (PLT).
SPDE plays a crucial role in the overall Solimar Chemistr(TM) platform, providing an onramp to PDF-centric workflows while offering robust data optimizations, conversions, job management, and device connectivity for non-PDF workflows.
Does PDF and JDF/JMF make the processes and operations around print production better? To answer this, Pat and Drew will take a look at the theory behind combining the ISO standards of PDF and JDF while leveraging the information provided by JMF.
As part of our PDF+JDF=ADF series, Pat McGrew and Drew Sprague discuss the importance of the Job Definition Format (JDF) and Job Messaging Format (JMF) standards, the role they currently play today in print environments, and the opportunity to leverage them for competitive advantage and better operational efficiency.
These print workflow and metadata standards specify the intended appearance, processing steps, or job tickets for printed products through the use of existing PDF features.
Pat McGrew and Drew Sprague discuss how PDF paired with the bi-directional communication technology of JDF and JMF is set to enhance efficiency for print providers.
Gegründet am 23. April 2014, traf sich die gemeinsame ISO TC 130 WG 2 TF 3 und PDF Association Arbeitsgruppe bereits am 21. May 21 2014 wieder. Die Gruppe ist sehr aktiv und wird sich künftig alle zwei Wochen treffen. ZU Beginn liegt der Fokus auf der Entwicklung von Handreichung für Entwickler zur Ausgabesteuerung («product intent») komlett unabhängig von JDF, das von vielen als zu komplex angesehen wird, vor allem im Vergleich mit den Möglichkeiten der Ausgabesteuerung in AFP oder PostScript. Das nächste Web-Meeting wird am 2. Juni 2014 statt finden.
