Create an EN 16931-compliant e-invoice from a PDF invoice

Upload your PDF invoice. E-Rechnungs-Studio automatically extracts the invoice data, generates XML in the CrossIndustryInvoice (CII) format, validates the result, and creates a ZUGFeRD PDF with embedded XML.

Review the imported data, use the validation guidance, and specify any changes if needed. This keeps you in full control and lets you download your finished, validated, machine-readable e-invoice.
