Starting in 2025, e-invoicing will be mandatory for companies in Germany. This means that businesses must issue and receive invoices in a structured electronic format to comply with legal requirements.

With our ZUGFeRD e-invoice converter, you can prepare your company for the digital future early on. Increase your efficiency, minimize error rates, and maximize the productivity of your accounting department—all while remaining fully compliant.

Why ZUGFeRD is the Right Solution

ZUGFeRD (Central User Guide of the Forum for Electronic Invoicing Germany) combines the best of both worlds: a hybrid format that ensures both machine readability and human legibility. By integrating XML data into PDF/A-3 documents, you not only comply with EU Directive 2014/55/EU but also optimize your internal processes simultaneously.

Our converter supports all current ZUGFeRD versions (1.0, 2.0, 2.1) as well as the French Factur-X variant—ensuring maximum compatibility for European business transactions.

PDF-2-ZUGFeRD - Ready for Immediate Use Without IT Resources

Many companies shy away from switching to e-invoicing, fearing high implementation costs or complex IT projects. With our converter, those worries are a thing of the past:

  • No IT integration required: The solution works independently without requiring any changes to your existing infrastructure.
  • Immediate deployment: Simply upload your PDF invoices—the conversion happens fully automatically.
  • Intuitive user interface: You can use the tool immediately, even without technical expertise.

How the Converter Works

The process is incredibly simple:

  1. Upload PDF: Upload your existing PDF invoice into the tool.
  2. Automatic Analysis: The converter extracts all relevant invoice data using intelligent text recognition.
  3. ZUGFeRD Creation: The extracted data is converted into the structured XML format and embedded into the PDF.
  4. Download: You receive a legally compliant ZUGFeRD invoice ready for download.

Your Benefits at a Glance

  • Time savings: Automated processes reduce manual data entry.
  • Error reduction: Structured data minimizes transcription errors.
  • Compliance: Full fulfillment of all legal requirements starting in 2025.
  • Cost control: No hidden IT costs or licensing fees.
  • Flexibility: Support for all ZUGFeRD versions and Factur-X.
