Your files are never transmitted. Nothing is uploaded.
Before you start
- Add the invoice PDF and its XML together — once both are in, you'll see the invoice number and profile found.
- The XML has to be CII (Cross Industry Invoice); a UBL export won't work here.

How to do it
Add your file
Add two files: your invoice as a PDF, and your invoice data as a CII XML file from your accounting system.
Set it up the way you want
Check the profile the tool reads from your XML. That profile decides whether the invoice will be accepted.

Download the Factur-X invoice — one PDF a person can read with the XML embedded inside it for the software.
Questions about Create a Factur-X invoice
- What is Factur-X actually?
- One file doing two jobs. The PDF is for a person to read and file; the XML inside it is what the receiving accounting system books automatically. ZUGFeRD is the same standard under its German name, and the two are interchangeable.
- Which profile do I need?
- For France, an EN 16931-compliant profile: BASIC, EN 16931 or EXTENDED. MINIMUM and BASIC WL are rejected, and the tool reads your XML and tells you which one you have before you send it. Discovering this after a rejection costs a payment cycle.
- Can I not just attach the XML to the PDF myself?
- Not and have it accepted. The standard requires the file to be named factur-x.xml, marked as an alternative representation of the document, listed in the associated files, and carried in a PDF/A-3 file with the right metadata and color profile. Miss any of those and validators reject it.
- Can I use it to invoice clients in Spain (Veri*factu)?
- Not as your invoicing system. DocuGrip is not a Veri*factu billing system: it does not keep the chained record of your invoices that Spain requires, and it does not send them to the Spanish tax agency (AEAT). If you invoice from Spain, issue your invoices from certified billing software — you can still use DocuGrip to read, merge, sign or compress the PDFs.
