# Document automation: Convert and redact files easily

**Example 1**:

Generate a searchable PDF `C:\ADX Demo\Output\\ US2007246939A1.pdf` from a TIFF file.

```bash

"C:\Aquaforest\Autobahn DX\bin\autobahndx.exe" /source="C:\ADX Demo\In\Tiff\File\US2007246939A1.tif" /sourcetype=file /target="C:\ADX Demo\Output" /outputtype=pdf /operation=tifftopdf /ocr=true

```

**Example 2**:

Generate a searchable PDF file from a folder of TIFF and JPEG files, with Deskew and page orientation detection and correction.

```bash

"C:\Aquaforest\Autobahn DX\bin\autobahndx.exe" /source="C:\ADX Demo\In\TIFF\Folder" /sourcetype=folder /target="C:\ADX Demo\Output" /output=outputfile.pdf /outputtype=pdf /ocr=true /autorotate /deskew /operation=mergetifftopdf

```

**Example 3**:

Generate searchable PDF files from image PDF files found in a folder and subfolders.

```bash

"C:\Aquaforest\Autobahn DX\bin\autobahndx.exe" /source="C:\ADX Demo\In\PDF\Tree" /sourcetype=tree /target="C:\ADX Demo\Output" output=%FILENAME /ocr=true /outputtype=pdf /operation=ocrimagepdf /debug

```

**Example 4**:

Run a Document Automation Server (DAS) job that is in the Job Manager. For example, to run job 1001:

```bash

"C:\Aquaforest\Autobahn DX\bin\autobahndx.exe" /jobId=1001

```

**Example 5**:

Run a DAS job from an existing jobfile. For example, to run job 1002:

```bash

"C:\Aquaforest\Autobahn DX\bin\autobahndx.exe" /jobfile="C:/Aquaforest/Autobahn DX/jobdef/1002.xml" /logfile="C:/Aquaforest/Autobahn DX/logs/1002"

```

**Example 6**:

Smart Redaction of Credit Card numbers only.

```bash

"C:\Aquaforest\Autobahn DX\bin\autobahndx.exe" /operation=smartredaction /ResourcePath="C:\Aquaforest\Autobahn DX\distribution\gdpicture\ocr" /Source="C:\ADX Demo\In\Redaction-Test-2.pdf" /target="C:\ADX Demo\Out" /Dictionary=eng /TempFolder="C:\ADX Demo\temp\00af66a1-ef8e-4a22-a9c3-4059be36f514" /PageRange="\*" /MarkColor="black" /sourcetype=file /output=%FILENAME-No-Credit-card /createfolder=true /overwrite=true /logfile="C:\ADX Demo\Log\redaction_UnitTests.log" /RedactEmailAddresses=false /RedactPhoneNumbers=false /RedactVatIDs=false /RedactURIs=false /RedactIBANs=false /RedactVehicleIdentificationNumbers=false /RedactSocialSecurityNumbers=false /RedactPostalAddresses=false
