These are xml files usually created in the conditions folder and can be used to execute jobs from the Command line using the `–JobFile` parameter. Developers can also create, edit, or generate XML job files using the information below: | Option | Description | | ------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | `jobspecialoptions` | Set of options for the specified operation. Described in detail in [Job Settings](/guides/document-automation-server/content-extraction/kingfisher-user-interface/job-settings.md) | | `outputnamemask` | The **Name Template** explained in [File Naming](/guides/document-automation-server/content-extraction/kingfisher-user-interface/job-settings.md#file-naming) | | `usenametemplate` | If the value is true, the **Name Template** will be used instead of the script. | | `Metadata` | Metadata settings for resulting PDF files. By default, metadata fields are left blank. Described in detail in [PDF Metadata](/guides/document-automation-server/content-extraction/kingfisher-user-interface/job-settings.md#pdf-metadata) | | `docoptions` | Document option settings for resulting PDF files. Described in detail in section [Display Modes](/guides/document-automation-server/content-extraction/kingfisher-user-interface/job-settings.md#display-modes) | | `Security` | Security settings for resulting PDF files. By default, files are not secured. Described in detail in [Security](/guides/document-automation-server/content-extraction/kingfisher-user-interface/job-settings.md#security) | | `Sourcefiles` | Source PDF file, folder, or tree. Can be multiple files for merge operations. | | `advancedflags` | Used to pass extra parameters, do not use unless directed by our technical team. | | `logfile` | After each job run, the output will be logged to a file based on this template. See section [Location Settings](/guides/document-automation-server/content-extraction/kingfisher-user-interface/job-settings.md#location-settings) for details. The filename by default uses the `%TIMESTAMP%` variable. On completion of a run, the file referenced by `kingfisherlivelog` is copied to a new file based on this logfile template | | `kingfisherlivelog` | When a job is running, output is written to this file. At the end of a job, the logfile template is used as a destination for a copy. | | `textextraction` | This contains the definitions of text to be extracted. | | `forceocr` | When set to true, any file processed will be OCRed (see the [OCR options](/guides/document-automation-server/content-extraction/kingfisher-user-interface/job-settings.md#ocr-settings) for other related settings) irrespective of whether it would normally be considered searchable. | --- ## Related pages - [Streamline document processing with DAS](/guides/document-automation-server/content-extraction/autobahn-dx-integration.md) - [Explore document automation and content extraction](/guides/document-automation-server/content-extraction/acknowledgements.md) - [Streamline document automation with content extraction](/guides/document-automation-server/content-extraction.md) - [Unlocking PDF processing with content extraction](/guides/document-automation-server/content-extraction/introduction.md) - [Organize your Document Automation Server files](/guides/document-automation-server/content-extraction/kingfisher-files-and-directories.md) - [Streamline document automation with DAS content extraction](/guides/document-automation-server/content-extraction/kingfisher-configuration-file-kingfisherconfig.md) - [Efficient content extraction for diverse PDF files](/guides/document-automation-server/content-extraction/support.md) - [How to use trigger files for job automation](/guides/document-automation-server/content-extraction/trigger-files.md) - [Document Automation Server Content Extraction release notes](/guides/document-automation-server/content-extraction/release-notes.md) - [Efficient content extraction with DAS command line](/guides/document-automation-server/content-extraction/using-kingfisher-from-the-command-line.md)
