Extract data from a PDF invoice
Upload an existing invoice as a PDF. The invoice data is extracted and converted into an XRechnung or a hybrid PDF with embedded XML.
How the extraction works
- Upload the PDF – ideally exported directly from your invoicing or accounting software.
- Check the result: recognised fields are ticked, uncertain values are flagged and never end up in the XML unchecked.
- Download the XRechnung or hybrid PDF – or complete it in the form first.
Which data is extracted
Invoice number and date, seller and buyer with address and VAT ID, line items, net, tax and gross amounts, due date as well as IBAN and BIC. If the PDF already contains an embedded XRechnung in UBL format, it is taken over directly.
Best suited are PDFs with real text, as created by invoicing software. Scanned paper invoices that consist only of an image cannot be read.
The extractor works heuristically (regex + table analysis) and can make mistakes. After scanning you will see each detected value directly in the form – please check all fields before exporting the XML. An incorrect invoice number or VAT ID in the XML may cause rejection by the recipient.
