JMFLink Workflow Advanced Tutorial

About this advanced tutorial

This Advanced Tutorial explains how to use the Agfa Apogee Prepress JMFLink task processor (also referred to as "Distribute & Print") to export job results from one :APOGEE Prepress System (the "Distributor" site) for use on another :APOGEE Prepress System (the "Receiver" site).

:APOGEE Prepress JMFLink allows a workflow to export intermediate data for use at another :APOGEE Prepress site.
The idea is to build the entire job (including job settings and PDF documents) at one :APOGEE Prepress site (the "Distributor" site) and to export this content to file in JDF format.
The exported JDF file is then sent to the other :APOGEE Prepress site (the "Receiver" site) where it is received automatically, rendered and imaged.

  • Normalizing, preflighting, PDF trapping, separation and in some cases imposition is performed at the Distributor site.
  • Media, resolution, calibration, linearization curve and simulation curve are sent to receiver side when both :APOGEE Prepress versions are the same. The job settings and PDF pages can also be modified at the Receiver site.
