French (FR)Create ZUGFeRD PDF
By simply printing invoices from any ERP or inventory management system to our PDF printer, documents can be directly created as ZUGFeRD-compliant PDFs.
A ZUGFeRD invoice (i.e. electronic invoice) consists of two separate components: it contains a visual representation of the invoice in PDF/A-3 format as well as machine-readable, structured XML data. The XML data is embedded as an attachment to the PDF/A-3 document. Our PDF printer directly supports the required PDF/A format for the eInvoice process and embeds your XML invoice data according to the ZUGFeRD specification from version 1.0 to 2.1. The result is a compliant PDF/A-3 file in ZUGFeRD format!
Simply "print" or "convert" invoices into ZUGFeRD PDF format
The elegant solution works as follows: your ERP system prints the invoice as usual to our PDF printer. In the PDF printer, the print and XML data are then merged into an electronic ZUGFeRD PDF invoice. The ZUGFeRD XML data is prepared by our new AI-powered service 7-PDF Invoice Extractor, which is integrated into 7-PDF Attach Extract and Remove – Version 2.0, and embedded in the background into the PDF/A-3 document (as a "factur-x.xml" attachment).
Alternatively, you can deliver the XML from your ERP system. In this case, 7-PDF Attach Extract and Remove embeds your XML compliantly (legally secure) into the printed PDF/A-3b document.
Our validation tool 7-PDF e-Invoice Validator can then, if required, automatically validate the generated ZUGFeRD PDF including the e-invoice XML in a single step via CLI command – fully compliant. We like to say: Great, all invoice files in the right pipe...
