Viewing JDF job definitions
A JDF job definition in Acrobat contains references to the files to be printed as well as instructions and
information for prepress service providers at the production site. The components of a print job and the
order in which they will be printed are listed in a document hierarchy, which appears on the left side of
the Edit JDF Job Definition dialog box.
When you open a JDF job definition, you can view a list of the components of a print job, and you have
access to various panels for specifying information. You view the specifications for individual
components in the print job using the document hierarchy.
