Factur-X and ZUGFeRD > Python plugin

Factur-X and Order-X Python library

The main feature of this Python library is to generate Factur-X invoices and Order-X orders from a regular PDF document and a Factur-X or Order-X compliant XML file.

This lib provides additional features such as:

▪extract the XML file from a Factur-X or Order-X PDF file,

▪check a Factur-X or Order-X XML file against the official XML Schema Definition.

Some of the features provided by this lib also work for ZUGFeRD 1.0 (the ancestor of the Factur-X standard).
