FX-XMP-01

warningFactur-X / ZUGFeRD containercontainerPDF

A Factur-X PDF must carry XMP metadata declaring the document type, attachment filename and conformance level.

Why it fails

The PDF carries no XMP metadata, so nothing in the file declares it to be a Factur-X invoice.

How to fix it

Add the Factur-X XMP extension schema to the document metadata and produce the file as PDF/A-3. Without it you have a PDF that happens to have an XML attached — which often still works in practice, but is neither Factur-X nor PDF/A-3, and France's mandate expects both.
