New: PDF to ZUGFeRD and PDF to Factur-X Converters

Two new AI converters, PDF to ZUGFeRD and PDF to Factur-X, turn a PDF invoice into a compliant e-invoice in one call. They extract the invoice data and embed it as EN 16931 XML in a PDF/A-3 copy of the file.

Highlights

• Extracts the full EN 16931 data set: seller and buyer details, VAT identifiers, invoice lines, the tax breakdown, payment terms and monetary totals.
• Embeds the Cross Industry Invoice (CII) XML as factur-x.xml in a PDF/A-3 copy of the invoice.
• Both converters produce the same output, since Factur-X 1.0 and ZUGFeRD 2.1 or later are one standard.
• Reads scanned and photographed invoices as well. Pages without a text layer are read visually by the AI, so no separate OCR step is needed.
• Handles invoices of up to 10 pages. A page range that covers more is rejected with a request to select the invoice pages through PageRange.
• Accepts password-protected PDFs through the Password parameter.

Parameters

• AiMode (collection, default fast) - fast responds quicker and suits simple, clearly structured invoices. enhanced uses an advanced reasoning model that reads complex layouts more accurately.
• ReadMode (collection, default auto) - auto reads pages with a text layer as exact text and scanned pages as images. textLayer trusts the embedded text only, and image reads every page as a picture, which helps when the text layer is broken.
