About DynaPDF

DynaPDF Logo Anyone who needs to edit or create PDF files on client / server systems, requires a PDF library that can deal with current PDF files in the future. The PDF format was greatly extended in recent years and the development does never end. A PDF library must keep pace with this development but it is almost impossible to implement all new features immediately after the publication of a new version of PDF. Therefore, a PDF library should ensure that new features do not lead to errors or even data loss.

In DynaPDF this is of course the case. The PDF import is version independent and therefore supports features that do not even exist today. As long as the PDF syntax will not be changed, any PDF file can be imported correctly and saved without data loss.

Due to the variety of applications which can create PDF files today, the error handling and repair capabilities for damaged files play also an increasingly important role. The repair capabilities must be at least as good as the ones in common PDF viewers to avoid unnecessary support requests.

Therefore, we take care that also heavily damaged files can still be opened with DynaPDF. Not all damages must necessarily be repaired, that would be an almost impossible task, but the intact parts of a PDF file should still be accessible.

Of course, DynaPDF leaves file errors not in the dark. Almost all repairs and found errors are stored in an error log. For problems, the error source can therefore be determined quite quickly. Since practically all errors are logged, DynaPDF must of course itself produce very clean files.

ZUGFeRD and e-Invoices

If you want to implement e-invoices according to the ZUGFeRD standard in a solution with FileMaker, the MBS plugins will help you. With the XML and DynaPDF functions, you can implement both creation and reading. You have two options:

Without PDF/A converter
You create the PDF from scratch with DynaPDF and save it as PDF/A.
You only need the Lite version for this, but you must not import an existing PDF as a template.
With PDF/A converter
You have Xojo (using PDFDocument class) write a PDF. Then load this PDF into DynaPDF and output it as a PDF file together with the XML. For this you need DynaPDF Pro and the PDF/A extension, because Xojo can't create a PDF/A directly.

With the download of the MBS Xojo Plugin you will find some examples that show how to insert or read the XML into a PDF.
