Factur-X is a hybrid e-invoicing standard from France and Germany that combines a readable PDF/A-3 invoice with embedded XML data.

A Factur-X invoice includes key billing, tax, and payment details such as supplier/buyer info, invoice number, VAT, amounts, and product descriptions.
It supports multiple profiles (Minimum to Extended) to fit different business and regulatory needs.
