ZUGFeRD plugin
The ZUGFeRD plugin provides a way to enrich German PDF invoices with data specific to the
invoice. This is done by embedding the data in a standardized XML format within the PDF
itself.
For general information on the Plugin, see "ZUGFeRD" on page760.
Input
A PDFfile that is PDF/Acompliant. The PDF/Aconformity level doesn't matter. It may be 1, 2
or 3.
Processing
The plugin first checks that the PDF is PDF/A compliant, and doesn't already contain
ZUGFeRD data. If it is, then the PDFis processed.
Output
A PDF/A-3file with the selected ZUGFeRD data included.
If the incoming PDF is not PDF/A compliant, the plugin will not touch it but will instead forward
the untouched PDF as the Job File.
If the incoming PDF already contains ZUGFeRD data, the plugin will not touch it but will
instead forward the untouched PDF as the Job File.
