Supported Input File Formats

ReadSoft Online can process documents in many file formats and languages.


Image Formats

These image file formats are supported when you send invoices to ReadSoft Online:

  • JPEG, JPG

  • PDF version 1.3 to 1.7. XFA documents and PDF portfolios are not supported.

  • PNG

  • TIFF, TIF


Image Quality

  • All invoice images must have a height of at least 1,000 pixels and a width of at least 1,000 pixels.

  • Recommended resolution: 300 DPI.  For Chinese document types, you must use a minimum resolution of 400 DPI.

  • Color mode: Color, gray scale and bi-tonal images are supported.

  • Scanning mode: Simplex and duplex scanning is supported. Blank pages that are used for page separation are automatically removed from batches.


XML Formats

In addition to the image formats above, ReadSoft Online accepts XML input in these formats:

  • E2B

  • ESXML

  • FatturaPA

  • Finvoice

  • OIO

  • UBL (OIOUBL) / EHF

  • Svefaktura

  • ZUGFeRD

ReadSoft Online also supports XML input from Fakturaportalen.

When you verify an XML invoice, an invoice image is generated from the XML to make verification easier. However, if you process ESXML or Fattura documents that contain embedded PDFs, the embedded PDF is used as the invoice image. Currently, ESXML and Fattura are the only XML formats that support embedded PDFs in this manner.

ReadSoft Online supports electronically signed XML invoices (P7M files); however, encrypted P7M files are not supported.
