## Invoice-Converter vs Treesoft

Both products convert existing PDF invoices into XRechnung or ZUGFeRD without replacing the source system. The central choice is a browser service with editable review or a locally installed, configured process.

Treesoft is the better fit when invoice data must stay on a local Windows system and recurring PDFs have a stable layout. Its configured converter can watch a directory, validate before saving, and add local filing, an outgoing-invoice ledger, archiving, or sending.

Invoice-Converter is the better fit when you want to start in a browser without a local installation or company-specific converter configuration, review extracted fields visibly, and handle changing PDF layouts or other invoice inputs.

## Choose your workflow

- Choose Treesoft for configured on-premises processing and local automation
- Choose Invoice-Converter for browser access, editable review, and variable inputs
- Test representative layouts: technical validation does not prove every extracted value is correct
