Convert PDF invoices to structured XML—UBL, cXML, or custom schemas—for EDI integration, e-invoicing compliance, and automated B2B document exchange.
Upload any document — PDF, scan, or photo — and get structured data back immediately. No setup, no templates, no waiting.
Drag and drop files, connect a cloud drive, or set up email auto-forwarding. Any file format works—PDF, JPEG, PNG, TIFF, or digital documents.
The AI identifies fields by context and meaning, not fixed coordinates. Names, dates, amounts, and custom fields are extracted automatically.
Get structured output in Excel, Google Sheets, CSV, or JSON. Use the REST API for direct integration into your systems.
“Our EDI partners require cXML, but 60 percent of our invoices arrive as PDFs. Automated conversion eliminated the manual re-keying that was delaying our EDI document exchange.”
“The EU e-invoicing mandate required UBL format, and we had thousands of vendor invoices in PDF. The conversion tool handled the entire backlog and now processes new invoices as they arrive.”
“Custom XML mapping for our proprietary schema saved us from building an in-house conversion tool. We defined the schema once and every invoice converts correctly.”
XML has become the standard interchange format for business-to-business invoice data. EDI systems, e-invoicing mandates, procurement platforms, and ERP systems all consume invoice data as structured XML. For businesses that receive invoices as PDFs—which is still the majority of invoice volume globally—converting those PDFs to XML is a necessary step for participating in automated B2B document exchange. Invoice to XML conversion bridges the gap between the PDF invoices vendors send and the XML format that systems require.
The regulatory dimension of invoice to XML conversion is increasingly important. The European Union, Latin American countries, and parts of Asia are implementing mandatory e-invoicing regulations that require invoices to be submitted in structured XML formats such as UBL (Universal Business Language), Factur-X, or country-specific schemas. Businesses that cannot convert their invoice data to compliant XML risk regulatory penalties and exclusion from government procurement processes.
AI-powered invoice to XML conversion reads PDF invoices, extracts all relevant fields, and maps them to the target XML schema automatically. Lido supports output in UBL 2.1, cXML, and custom XML schemas, handling the field mapping, namespace declarations, and structural requirements that each schema demands. This eliminates the manual data entry and format conversion that would otherwise be required to produce compliant XML from PDF source documents.
Organizations evaluating invoice to XML solutions should consider schema support breadth, extraction accuracy on all invoice fields, handling of line-item arrays and tax breakdowns in XML structure, and compliance with relevant e-invoicing regulations. Lido provides both standard schema output and custom XML mapping for organizations with proprietary schemas or specific EDI partner requirements.
Audited controls over a sustained period, not a point-in-time check.
Bank-grade encryption at rest and TLS 1.2+ in transit.
Documents deleted within 24 hours. No copies retained.
You upload PDF invoices. The AI extracts all fields—header data, line items, tax breakdowns, and payment terms—then maps them to the target XML schema. The output is a well-formed XML document ready for EDI transmission or e-invoicing submission.
Lido supports UBL 2.1 (Universal Business Language), cXML, and custom XML schemas. For organizations with proprietary EDI formats or country-specific e-invoicing requirements, custom schema mapping is available via the API.
Yes. For EU e-invoicing mandates and similar regulations worldwide, Lido can convert PDF invoices into compliant XML formats that meet the structural and content requirements of the applicable regulation.
Line items are structured as repeating XML elements with child elements for description, quantity, unit price, line total, and tax amount. The nesting and element naming follow the conventions of the target XML schema.
Yes. Lido supports custom XML schema definitions where you specify element names, nesting structure, and field mappings. This is particularly useful for organizations with proprietary EDI formats or specific trading partner requirements.
