Abstract (eng): JDF- Job Definition Format is designed to exchange information between different applications, devices and systems along the entire supply chain in graphic arts industry.
Job definition format is encoded in XML (Extensible Markup Language).
JDF is comprehensive.
JDF has good connectivity, communication and better control over all areas of print production process.
JDF has an ability to communicate all devices through MIS (Management Information System).
JDF can track job status and device status with the help of JMF (Job messaging Format).
ICS (Interoperability Conformance Specification) contain well specified subsets to define interface between all JDF enabled products from different vendors to create seamless workflow solutions.

The objective of this thesis was 1) Present status of JDF 2) How JDF can be implemented between customer and printshop 3) cost benefit analysis in the implementation of JDF.
Study of current status of JDF shows that there is no system available exclusively made for the integration between customer and printshop.
Printer and customer have to make customized systems according to their requirements.
Time consuming processes are accelerated and production cost is saved per job in terms of time.
If customer wants to know the status of a job, it depends on if printer has already installed JDF in production processes or if printer gives access of system to customer inside the production department.

JDF is still an evolving standard.
Many printers are implementing JDF enabled systems in their printshops mainly in production processes.
JDF can be the optimistic future change for graphic arts industry.
