PDF Attach Extract and Remove : Make more of your eInvoice - Attach, extract, and delete files in PDF (ZUGFeRD)

PDF invoice to PDF/ZUGFeRD e-invoice

Using the corresponding tab of the software, suitable, machine-readable PDF invoices can be prepared as PDF/ZUGFeRD e-invoices in DIN EN 16931 format, provided that the invoice is suitable in terms of content, complete and machine-readable. In addition to the one-time program license, you need a paid subscription (API token) for our AI-assisted 🤖 Invoice Extractor. In demo or trial mode, the function can first be tested with your own suitable PDF invoices. If parser errors, missing mandatory information or implausible results occur, this may indicate that your PDF invoices are not suitable for this workflow; in that case, you should refrain from purchasing a license or subscription and use another e-invoicing solution. Our software does not replace a modern ERP solution for native e-invoice creation and is mainly intended for controlled manual invoice runs in very small businesses.
📢 Important: Licenses for 7-PDF Attach Extract and Remove + API token are available until further notice only upon request, after prior testing and subject to availability. If interested, please use our support form for a non-binding request after completing a prior trial-mode test. License and subscription availability can only be confirmed after review. A license-only purchase of 7-PDF Attach Extract and Remove without an API token — without PDF/ZUGFeRD conversion and exclusively for attachment management — is generally possible upon request and after a short review.

E-invoice preparation via print workflow

In a practical example, we demonstrate in this tutorial how the print output of our PDF printer 7-PDF Printer can be used to create a PDF/A-3b document as a technical basis. An existing or generated e-invoice XML can then be embedded to prepare a review-required PDF/ZUGFeRD document. As an additional step, the generated PDF/ZUGFeRD document can be technically and formally checked against the DIN EN 16931 schema using our 7-PDF E-Invoice Validator.

Make more of your PDF eInvoice by embedding additional files!

The PDF eInvoice, particularly in the ZUGFeRD PDF format, offers the advantage of attaching and embedding additional invoice-relevant documents and files directly alongside the XML file, such as factur-x.xml or zugferd-invoice.xml. This ensures that all invoice-related files are readily accessible where they matter most. As a classic example, you can attach your General Terms and Conditions (GTCs) to your eInvoice or include other order-related or invoice-related documents. The recipient of the eInvoice can access, open, and easily archive these attachments with Acrobat Reader or our PDF Attach Extract and Remove tool when they receive the eInvoice.

Attach, extract, and delete documents in standard PDF files

Furthermore, you can also enhance standard PDF files with attachments (embedded files) using our tool. Regardless of the file type, the PDF Attach Extract and Remove tool by 7-PDF lets you attach these to existing PDF documents. Additionally, with our tool, you can extract and delete embedded files from PDF documents easily, even via drag and drop. Would you like to load a PDF document and open the embedded files with a double-click? That is also possible with our software. Our program simplifies the handling of embedded files in PDF documents significantly. With Acrobat Reader, this process is cumbersome – or rather a struggle?

CLI Command Line Mode - Attach, extract, and delete files in PDF documents using a DOS command

PDF Attach Extract and Remove offers a way to attach, extract, or delete files in PDF documents directly via command-line (CLI) DOS commands. Integrate our tool into your automated processes, easily extract factur-x.xml or zugferd-invoice.xml attachments from ZUGFeRD PDF documents, or handle other file formats. You will appreciate these features, especially for automation and managing eInvoices.
