# Archiving jobs

The SWING PDF Converter's automated archiving feature provides a way of converting Notes documents or emails in selected databases to PDF format without manual intervention.

The PDF files created in this way can be saved in a network shared folder or in a third-party document repository such as SharePoint, Alfresco etc.

In order to run an archiving job, you'll need to create a new archiving job configuration document and select the following job parameters:

1. **Source content** (the databases or mailboxes that are to be processed, and optionally specific folders/views within such databases)
2. **Output settings** (the location where the generated PDF files will be saved, such as a shared network folder or a supported third-party document repository)
3. **Conversion settings** (e.g. PDF page size settings, attachment settings, metadata settings etc.)
4. **Schedule** (an Archiving may run on a schedule (e.g. daily) or it may be started manually)

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.swingsoftware.com/pdf-converter-for-notes/getting-started/pdf-converter-terminology/archiving-jobs.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
