I am guessing this is likely where I should post this information.
My Company just bought a new MBO folder for our bindery. The guys from Germany are here helping get things all set up and fine tuned. One thing they need is a JDF file to add to their front end hot folder which should contain all of the folding information for the job. Our workflow is Prinergy 8.3 which is integrated with Preps 8.3. The only place I encounter JDF is with Preps, so I am guessing that is where I get the information they are looking for. We tried just adding the JDF file that shows up in the System/Imposition plans/Preps folder to try, but it had no folding information.
So I went to Preps preferences and on the Output tab I needed to check on Include JDF folding Data. This seemed to change the makeup of the JDF file to include this information. I was wondering about the "Include HTML file with JDF output for WST equipment setup" - Is this where I can make a file that is put to the hot folder destination on the MBO front end? If so, I think all I need is a share created.
I just want to know if I am on the right track before I start testing.
