Several e-invoicing standards, such as ZUGFeRD in Germany and Factur-X in France, require the
(XML) invoice data to be attached to a PDF/A-3 file.
PDF/A-3 files with attachments can also be used for hybrid archiving: the PDF/A serves as the version
that is suitable for long term storage, and alternate forms and/or the source document can be added as
attachments.
Licensing
This plugin requires the OL Connect Workflow Imaging license.
Workflow Imaging is an add-on license bundle for OL Connect Workflow that includes the Image and
Fax plugins; see "About PlanetPress Image" on page279 and "About PlanetPress Fax" on page278.
Without a valid Imaging license, the plugin will fail with an error. In the trial version, the plugin will work,
but the resulting PDF file will be watermarked.
Input
This task accepts any job file as input.
If the job file is the target file to which the attachments must be added, it should be a PDF/A-3 file. Note,
however, that the task doesn't verify that the input file is PDF/A-3 compliant.
Processing
The task reads each of the files that are listed as attachments and adds it to the target PDF with the
name that was specified for that attachment.
The target file can be either the job file or an external PDF/A-3 file.
The job file can also be used as one of the attachments.
Output
This task outputs the target PDF/A-3 file, with the attachments added to it, as the job file.
