Hi again,

I’m looking into extending my ConTeXt-made invoices with embedded XML data according to the DE/FR Factur-X standard (in Germany also known as ZUGFeRD).

Does anyone have some experience with that?

For that, I need PDF/A-3(a) compliant documents – current documentation is only on PDF/A-1(a), but that doesn’t seem to be the problem.

Now I’m supposed to put additional information into the XMP metadata.
I found lpdf-xmp.lua; but it seems like I can’t just use

\startluacode
lpdf.addtoinfo("TEST","Hraban was here!")
lpdf.addxmpinfo("UStID","123456")
\stopluacode

Would I need to add my tags to the mapping table of lpdf-xmp.lua?

Or circumvent it after a look at the function concerned:

function lpdf.addxmpinfo(tag,value,check)
    local pattern = permitdetail(tag)
    if type(pattern) == "string" then
        xmlfillin(xmp or valid_xmp(),pattern,value,check)
    end
end

If I try to use xml.fillin, I apparently need the name of the current xml file, but valid_xmp is a local function. If just use the default...

xml.fillin("lpdf-pdx.xml","metadata","UStID","123456")

... at least I find no traces of that key in the extended metadata dialog of Acrobat Pro 9. I also tried different values like "xmp" instead of metadata. Clearly I don’t understand what I’m doing here ;)

Is there a check against some schema involved?

It looks like I should include an additional XMP schema for Factur-X with the URI "urn:factur-x:pdfa:CrossIndustryDocument:invoice:1p0#", prefix "fx". How can I do that?

This is the example from the docs:

<rdf:Description
        rdf:about=""
        xmlns:fx="urn:factur-x:pdfa:CrossIndustryDocument:invoice:1p0#">
        <fx:DocumentType>INVOICE</fx:DocumentType>
        <fx:DocumentFileName>factur-x.xml</fx:DocumentFileName>
        <fx:Version>1.0</fx:Version>
        <fx:ConformanceLevel>EXTENDED</fx:ConformanceLevel>
</rdf:Description>

Then I’d use \attachment to include my "factur-x.xml" invoice (that I must generate from my Lua invoice code), but that’s a task for another day ;)
