XRechnung XML to PDF

What is XRechnung?

XRechnung is the German standard for electronic invoices in B2B and B2G contexts. Instead of a traditional PDF, you often receive an XML file: machine-readable, standards-compliant, and intended for automated processing — but difficult for humans to read and not suitable for printing or archiving.

MaraDocs bridges this gap: you upload the XML file, we generate an official visual representation as a Factur-X PDF, and then treat the result like any other PDF in MaraDocs.

• Upload XML file — via drag-and-drop or as an attachment from an imported email (.msg/.eml).
• Validation and conversion — MaraDocs checks the XML file and generates a standards-compliant Factur-X PDF from it.
• Process like a normal PDF — arrange pages, combine with other documents, compress, and download.
• Clearly identifiable — the XML origin is visible in the interface; the workflow follows the familiar PDF process.

How it works in MaraDocs

Drag a .xml file into the upload area of MaraDocs Workspace. MaraDocs validates the file, converts it server-side into a Factur-X PDF, and adds it to your document list.

From that point on, you work with the invoice just like any other PDF: you can merge it with additional files, optimise it for sending, or download it as a result PDF. The original XML file remains the source — the generated PDF is the official, human-readable representation.

Also included in emails

When you import an email with an XRechnung attachment, MaraDocs automatically detects the embedded XML file and generates a PDF from it as well — alongside the display of the email itself.
