Common planning questions
- Can a normal PDF become an e-invoice?
- Yes. The conversion reads invoice data from the PDF, maps it into a structured e-invoice format, and keeps a review step before export.
- Why review the extracted data?
- PDF layouts vary. Reviewing the mapped fields helps catch OCR, tax, address, or line-item issues before submitting the invoice.
- Which recipient details should be ready?
- If the recipient uses a public-sector route or portal, collect identifiers such as Leitweg-ID or Peppol details before export.
