It is likely that this feature is in the 'red square' that Nate describes in https://pointieststick.com/2023/07/16/where-bugfixes-and-new-features-come-from/ Gotcha, some day I will find the end of the rainbow, then I will organize it. Or maybe some other, then it will be done. I don't entirely understand how the different names/standards for electronic invoices relate, but I know there's also https://codeberg.org/openKMU/xrechnung It might be possible/interesting to adapt that for using in Okular ZUGFeRD/Factur-X are ordinary PDF files What do we need to add support for? (In reply to Albert Astals Cid from comment #4) > ZUGFeRD/Factur-X are ordinary PDF files > > What do we need to add support for? presenting the attached xml files in a readable form is at least what I would expect. I'm looking forward to seeing 'invoices' with the decimal seperator moved one point in the xml file compared to the visual representation in the pdf or otherwise slight difference between the machine readable xml and the pdf rendering Well, I can provide some test files. A ZUGFeRD Pdf and xml, and a xrechnung xml. https://github.com/hhl/depot/tree/master/Example-X-Rechnung > presenting the attached xml files in a readable form is at least what I would expect.
But the PDF file already has what the XML file has, so why would we render it again?
I really don't see what we want to do there.
The PDF is not the problem! But if someone gets a xrechnung.xml/faktur-x-xml without a PDF, you have a little difficulty reading it with native Linux-tools. Since 1. January 2025 you have to be able to read it and with 1. January 2027 it is a must to read and write such invoices. I don't speak about writing a xrechnung/factur-x invoices, only reading them. It would be a big help for people/little firms who only use a Linux-based system to have a tool to read those XML files. Okay, there is an APP-Image of the Quba viewer, but it is slow and not native. Take a look with the Quba-viewer to a ZUGFeRD PDF or at a factur-x.xml file, only to see what I am talking about. And for the record, it will be a must in Europe, not only Germany! So why not add the possibility to read those XML files? And no, I don't need it personalty, I only help someone with a little seminar location to manage that problem with that xrechnung invoices and stumbled over it, no I don't take money for it. And was asking myself why not ask for the possibility to read such files under a Linux-based system, in this case plasma/kde. |
