What does a real Factur-X e-invoice look like?

A Factur-X invoice is a readable PDF that embeds a structured XML (CII syntax) following the EN 16931 European standard. The samples above cover MINIMUM, BASIC WL and BASIC: same container, same XMP, richer and richer data. Open the XML next to the PDF and "human-readable + machine-processable" becomes obvious.

These files are produced by the official pipeline (factur-x library / pikepdf) and pass both the FNFE-MPE validator and ours. Use them to test your receiving chain or compare with your current exports.
