# 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.

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

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.swingsoftware.com/pdf-converter-for-notes/how-to/how-to-use-alternate-forms-in-an-archiving-job.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

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.
