Create ZUGFeRD PDF

🖨️ Simply print your invoices from Word, Excel, or any ERP or inventory management system using our PDF printer – and instantly generate ZUGFeRD-compliant PDF files.

🧾 What is a ZUGFeRD E-Invoice?

A ZUGFeRD invoice consists of two components:

📄 A PDF/A-3 document for visual representation
🧩 An embedded XML file with structured invoice data

🛠️ Easily print or generate ZUGFeRD PDFs

Print your invoice 🖨️ as usual from Word, Excel, an ERP or inventory system using our PDF printer 7-PDF Printer. During the print process, PDF and XML data are automatically merged to create a valid ZUGFeRD e-invoice. The ZUGFeRD XML data is generated by our AI-powered service 7-PDF Invoice Extractor, fully integrated into 7-PDF Attach Extract and Remove (from version 2.0). The generated XML is embedded according to specification as factur-x.xml. Sounds complex – but it's not!
