Free PDF to UBL Converter (2025)

UBL is a standard XML format for business documents like invoices and purchase orders. Unlike a PDF, which is a "picture" of a document, UBL is structured data that computers can read automatically.

Why use UBL?

• Automation: Systems can import UBL invoices directly without manual entry.
• Compliance: It's the standard for Electronic Invoicing (E-Invoicing) in many regions (like PEPPOL in Europe).
• Accuracy: Reduces errors caused by manual typing.

Using our PDF to UBL converter is fast and secure. Here is how it works:

Step 1: Upload Your Invoice

Go to our PDF to UBL Tool and upload your PDF invoice. We support standard PDF invoices generated by most accounting software.

Step 2: Automatic Data Extraction

Our local AI scans your document for key information:

• Vendor Name: Who is sending the invoice.
• Invoice ID: The unique reference number.
• Date: When the invoice was issued.
• Amounts: Subtotal, Tax, and Total, including Currency.

Step 3: Verify and Edit

Because every PDF is different, we show you the extracted data for verification. specific UBL fields are strict, so ensuring the Date format (YYYY-MM-DD) and Currency code (e.g., USD, EUR) are correct is important. You can edit any field directly in our interface.

Step 4: Download UBL XML

Click Download UBL XML to generate the final file. This file is compliant with UBL 2.1 standards and can be imported into compatible accounting systems.

While our tool generates valid UBL 2.1 XML, e-invoicing requirements vary by country and network (like PEPPOL).

• Structure: We use the standard UBL Invoice-2 schema.
• Validation: We recommend validating the generated XML against your specific partner's requirements.
• Privacy: Since we process locally, you maintain full control over your compliance data.
