Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about embedding XML into a PDF.

A hybrid invoice is a single PDF that carries both a human-readable page and an embedded XML file. ZUGFeRD and Factur-X are the common hybrid formats in Europe.

No. We convert your PDF into a compliant PDF/A-3 container during embedding, so a standard PDF works fine.
Convert generates the XML from a PDF for you. Embed takes an XML you already have and packages it into the PDF as a compliant hybrid file.
