ZUGFeRD Invoice Software – Create E-Invoices in Excel – test first, then request access
📢 Important notice: ZUGFeRD conversion with 7-PDF Attach Extract and Remove + API token is available only after testing, request and subject to availability.
PDF-to-ZUGFeRD conversion is a specialized solution for suitable, machine-readable PDF invoices and controlled manual invoice runs. Please test with your own invoices before submitting a request. Licenses and API tokens can only be provided after review.
ℹ️ Test first, then request access
The AI-assisted conversion does not replace invoicing, accounting or ERP software and is not intended for unlimited bulk conversion, unattended dark processing, SaaS/portal/managed-service use or arbitrary/scanned PDFs.
If parser errors occur during the trial, or if the generated ZUGFeRD data is not fully correct, you should not purchase a license or subscription and should use a native e-invoicing solution instead.
📥 Open guide – Invoice workflow with ZUGFeRD4Excel
ZUGFeRD4Excel describes a controlled workflow for users who want to convert suitable invoices from Microsoft Excel or other Office programs into a review-required PDF/ZUGFeRD e-invoice.
The invoice is first created in Excel and exported as a PDF using 7-PDF Printer Professional. The 7-PDF Invoice Extractor can then analyze suitable, machine-readable invoices with AI assistance and create a review-required e-invoice with embedded XML, which must be manually checked and professionally aligned with EN 16931 before forwarding.
💡 Notes on the controlled workflow
- 🖨 PDF printing from Excel, Word & Co. – as a starting point for suitable, machine-readable invoices.
- 📄 PDF/A-3 with embedded ZUGFeRD XML can be created, provided that the source data is suitable.
- 🤖 AI-assisted data extraction – can detect invoice data in suitable documents.
- 🔒 GDPR-oriented processing – with SSL-encrypted transfer and German server location when AI-assisted processing is used.
- 💡 Test first in trial mode – to check whether your own invoices are suitable for processing.
Important: The solution does not replace invoicing, accounting or ERP software with native e-invoice generation. The generated ZUGFeRD data must always be checked professionally, formally and technically before forwarding.
