# KSeF PDF Generator
 
A tool for generating visualizations of invoices in **PDF** format based on **XML** invoice files downloaded from the National e-Invoice System ([**KSeF** - **K**rajowy **S**ystem **e-F**aktur](https://ksef.podatki.gov.pl/)) - https://ksef.podatki.gov.pl/.
The repository of this tool is based on a fork originating from:
1. https://github.com/CIRFMF/ksef-pdf-generator ([**@CIRF**](https://github.com/CIRFMF))
2. https://github.com/aiv/ksef-pdf-generator ([**@aiv (Mariusz Dalewski**](https://github.com/aiv))
3. https://github.com/niutech/ksef-pdf-generator ([**@niutech (niu tech**](https://github.com/niutech))
This application only creates visualizations of **KSeF invoices** in **XML** format downloaded from the **National e-Invoice System** (e.g., using the tool [**KSeF XML Downloader**](https://github.com/sstybel/ksef-xml-download)). The generated invoices contain a **QR code** that can be used to check whether your invoice is in the **KSeF** system.
Starting with version [**1.1.0 releases**](https://github.com/sstybel/ksef-pdf-generator/releases/tag/1.1.0), it is now possible to convert KSeF **XML** invoices to **PDF** files based on the status of downloaded KSeF **XML** invoices using the [**KSeF XML Downloader**](https://github.com/sstybel/ksef-xml-download) tool . The [**KSeF XML Downloader**](https://github.com/sstybel/ksef-xml-download) tool saves the result of its operation, among other things, to a **JSON** file, which contains, among other things, the location of invoices in KSeF **XML** format. This file (**JSON**) can now be used as a source to indicate the location of **KSeF XML** invoice files.
Since version [**1.2.0 releases**](https://github.com/sstybel/ksef-pdf-generator/releases/tag/1.2.0), two parameters have been added:
* Silent mode (default: disabled)
* Show emoticons (default: disabled)
Since version [**1.3.1 releases**](https://github.com/sstybel/ksef-pdf-generator/releases/tag/1.3.1), as suggested by [**@niutech**](https://github.com/niutech), to ensure long-term archiving, the **PDF** file is created in accordance with the **PDF/A-3** standard - **ISO 19005-3:2012**. This standard ensures long-term archiving based on **PDF version 1.7**, which allows any data formats (e.g., **XML**, **CSV**, **CAD**, source **Word files**) to be embedded within the **PDF** file. **PDF** is a *“container”* that combines visual consistency with the original (for viewing) and raw data for automatic processing.
In version [**1.3.5 releases**](https://github.com/sstybel/ksef-pdf-generator/releases/tag/1.3.5), the default behavior when a **KSeF PDF** invoice file exists has been changed so that the **KSeF** invoice **PDF** file is not overwritten. In addition, a parameter has been added that can change this behavior, resulting in **KSeF** invoice **PDF** files being overwritten.

## Syntax of the `ksef-pdf-generator.exe`
**Usage:** `ksef-pdf-generator.exe` `` [`options`]
**Options:**
* [`-s`], [`--state`] [`X:\path\output-json.json`] - Convert KSeF XML invoices to **PDFs** based on the state of the downloaded KSeF **XML** invoices by the tool [**KSeF XML Downloader**](https://github.com/sstybel/ksef-xml-download)
* [`-o`], [`--output`] [``] - Path to the output **PDF** file (default: **XML** file name changed to **.pdf**)
* [`-e`], [`--emo`] - Show emoticons in on-screen messages
* [`-q`], [`--quiet`] - Quiet mode, does not display messages on the screen
* [`-w`], [`--overwrite`] - Overwrite the PDF invoice file if it exists (default: do not overwrite the PDF invoice file if it exists)
* [`-h`], [`--help`] - Display this help message
**Notes:**
* The **KSeF number** is automatically detected from the **XML** file name. Format: `---.xml` (e.g., `0101010101-20260201-1A2B3C456D7E-F8.xml`)
* If the **KSeF number** is not found, the value **“NONE”** is used.
* The **QR code** is generated based on the **KSeF number**. If the **KSeF number** is not found, the **KSeF** value will be used as **“NONE”** and the **QR code** will use **“`0101010101-20260201-1A2B3C456D7E-F8`”** (**KSeF number**) as the default value for generating the **QR code**.
* If you use the [**KSeF XML Downloader**](https://github.com/sstybel/ksef-xml-download) to generate invoices based on the status of downloaded invoices, the **PDF** invoice visualizations will be saved in the same location as the **KSeF XML** invoice files. The invoice name will be the same as the **KSeF XML** invoice file, with the extension changed from **XML** to **PDF**.
