The specification IP versions #2 of JDF 1.8, XJDF 2.2 and PrintTalk 2.2 are now available for download at:
All three specifications are incremental updates with respect to their predecessor specifications:

V. Publication Specification Review: At least 30 days prior to when the CTO intends to declare that no further substantive changes will be made to the working draft of a Specification, the CTO will make a “Call for final changes to the draft.” During that period all Members are encouraged to review the working draft for patent claims that they may hold that are necessary for the implementation of any area of the Specification.
