# How to use alternate forms in an archiving job

In order to set up an alternate Notes form for an archiving job, create a new Form Setting in the same way as the Form Settings are created for use with the PDF Converter's toolbar icon. 

Instructions for creating a new Form Setting are available in the following article:

{% content-ref url="/pages/-MlF6m12cpRuO4mEV88o" %}
[Using alternate forms](/pdf-converter-for-notes/how-to/how-to-use-alternate-forms.md)
{% endcontent-ref %}

When an archiving job is running, it will check through all the created Form Settings. If it finds that an alternate Notes form was defined for the Notes form being currently processed, it will render the PDF file using that alternate form.
