✅ Convert PDFs to E-Invoices – Automatically, Compliantly, via Print

"PDFs can't be e-invoices?" – That’s not true. Modern print-based solutions like our 7-PDF Workflow prove otherwise: Your PDF invoice can become a fully compliant electronic invoice in the ZUGFeRD or XRechnung format at the press of a button – incl. embedded XML, 100% DIN EN 16931 compliant.

❌ Myth: PDFs are display-only

It’s often said: "PDF is not an e-invoice format." That’s only half true. A standard PDF is not machine-readable. However, using PDF/A-3b as a base and embedding a valid XML per ZUGFeRD or XRechnung standards turns it into a fully valid e-invoice – ready for ERP systems, public authorities, and digital archiving.

📄 Your original PDF invoice remains unchanged
🧠 Our software automatically extracts all necessary data (incl. OCR)
🔗 Generates valid XML and embeds it into the PDF
✅ Finished: A machine-readable e-invoice within the PDF container

✅ How the PDF to E-Invoice Converter Works

With the 7-PDF toolset, a simple print to PDF is all it takes – even directly from Word, Excel, ERP, or DMS:

📄 Print or open your existing invoice PDF
🖨️ Export it as PDF/A-3b via 7-PDF Printer
🤖 The 7-PDF Invoice Extractor launches automatically
📦 It generates e-invoice XML (ZUGFeRD/XRechnung)
🔗 XML is embedded into the PDF according to standards

👉 No manual data entry, no database, no ERP required!
