# File Conversion

Out of the box powerJobs Processor installs a [sample job](</jobprocessor/jobs/sample_jobs>) for most supported formats with the name 'Sample.Create*FORMAT*.ps1' that converts a file to that format.\
Overview of which sample job can be used for which purpose or format:

```{image} /img/jobprocessor/file_conversion_sample_jobs.png
:width: 1000px
```

All the jobs are using the [](</jobprocessor/code_reference/cmdlets/export-document>) cmdlet for the conversion as this cmdlet supports all the formats listed below.

## Supported Format Conversions

The product supports some [CAD applications](</jobprocessor/applications>) ({{inventor}} Inventor, {{inventorserver}} InventorServer and {{dwgtrueview}} DWG TrueView) and many conversions out-of-the-box.\
