ZUGFeRD, XRechnung & PEPPOL Compliance Without the Stress

Staying compliant with evolving e-invoicing standards like ZUGFeRD, XRechnung and PEPPOL can feel overwhelming—especially for companies managing PDF-based workflows or legacy systems. However, compliance doesn’t have to mean complex integrations, expensive overhauls, or workflow disruptions. With PEDIF, compliance becomes a streamlined, low-effort process.

Why Compliance Matters

Governments and enterprises are mandating structured e-invoicing formats to increase transparency, improve auditability, and reduce fraud. Standards like ZUGFeRD, XRechnung and PEPPOL are at the heart of these regulations. Failing to comply can lead to invoice rejections, payment delays, or even legal penalties.

Understanding the Standards

PEPPOL: A secure, standardized network used across Europe and globally for transmitting business documents, including e-invoices.
ZUGFeRD: A hybrid format that embeds machine-readable XML inside a PDF for compatibility with both humans and machines.
XRechnung: A fully XML-based invoice format required by many public institutions for digital invoice acceptance.

The Common Compliance Challenges

• Most companies still issue invoices as simple PDFs
• Internal IT systems often can’t generate compliant XML
• OCR-based solutions require post-processing and manual checks
• Template systems are expensive to maintain and fragile

How PEDIF Makes It Easy
