Create ZUGFeRD e-invoice from Excel via PDF print ZUGFeRD with Excel means creating e-invoices directly in Microsoft Excel – no macros, no complex templates, and no ERP system required. With the 7-PDF Printer Professional and the 7-PDF Invoice Extractor, you can convert your Excel invoice into a valid ZUGFeRD e-invoice with just one click. The PDF/A-3b required for ZUGFeRD PDF is provided by 7-PDF Printer.

A simple PDF print generates a standards-compliant PDF/A-3 with an embedded XML file in the ZUGFeRD or XRechnung format. All relevant invoice data is automatically detected and converted thanks to AI-powered analysis.
