Hey there! It's great to have you here. Today we're going to talk about a topic that's been on everyone's mind lately - the PDF/A-3 format for e-invoicing. If you're unfamiliar with the term, don't worry, we'll break it down for you.
PDF/A-3 is a specific standard for archiving documents for the long term. Essentially, it's a way to ensure that your documents will be readable and accessible even decades after they were created. PDF/A-3 files have an attachment embedded within them, containing all the data required to load the PDF. This includes things like font data, colours, and any attached files, such as XML invoice data.
ZATCA (the Zakat Tax & Customs Authority) has mandated the use of the PDF/A-3 format for e-invoicing. This is because it ensures that all invoices and related notes can be uniquely identified at any given time in the future. The file name for the PDF/A-3 format contains : the seller ID, the date and time the document was generated, and the invoice reference number. This makes it easy to find and reference specific documents, even years down the line.
