Job options for the Extract XML from PDF workflow
The Extract XML from PDF workflow lets you use job options to pass job-specific values for use when processing documents.
Job and document options you pass at runtime affect only the current job. When you change a setting of the job or document options, that change applies only to the current job. For the next job, the workflow reverts to the profile settings (saved default) unless you pass job or document options again.
Document options
Document options apply only to a specific input. It allows you to determine specific properties based on an individual document, rather than as a global setting (determined by the job or the profile). Use the default profile settings for any subsequent jobs processed with the workflow profile.
| Type | Option | Description |

| Document property | DOC.PASSWORD | Set the password for the document. |
