Hot folders and JDF
Job Definition Format (JDF) job tickets can be submitted only via a hot folder. JDF is a universal job ticket format. JDF capabilities enable Process Manager to use existing JDF job tickets and to create new JDF job tickets. The JDF job ticket is created with a third party submission tool.
The following workflow processes support JDF:
•Optimize
•Convert
•Join
•Impose
The workflow processes currently support two types of JDF Intent:
•Business card
•Saddle stitch
NOTE: If a JDF ticket does not contain the correct file path to the job that is being processed, the job fails.
JDF files take precedence over other files types; they are processed first.
