As for using JDF, the few PDF RIPs I've seen so far strip off any job ticket information from incoming PDFs and do not handle PDF/JT pairs (be it Adobe's or the W4C variant). Instead, they provide workflow utilities that permit (and force) defining job tickets by a GUI with many levels of functions and permissions - no chance to spcify any processing settings within the incoming PDF.

One of the PDF RIPs I am forced to work with provides a weird workaround for paper handling using some custom annotation format which isn't even documented (only a cut and paste facility for Acrobat is provided). And the only setpagedevice key which seems to be honoured seems to be /PageSize. Sigh.
