The set of parameters is comprehensive and command line syntax is generally best built by using the Quick Job “Command Line” menu option. The stand-alone command-line interface can only be used with the Server licenses. A sample Visual Studio project showing calling of the Command Line interface via C# is provided in the `AUTOBAHN DX\code examples\CommandLineCall` folder where Document Automation Server (DAS) has been installed – by default this is `C:\Aquaforest\Autobahn DX`.
