After preflighting and verifying the JDF file and the PDF files associated with it, you can package the files into a single MIME (Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions) file. The MIME specification lets you format non-ASCII messages so they can be sent over the Internet, ensuring the file links are retained during transfer. Your customer can submit the JDF package to your production site as an e-mail attachment, send it to the URL of a CIP4-compliant system, or drop the files on an FTP site.
