zugferd

A small command line tool written in Rust to extract attached XML invoice file from ZUGFeRD and XRechnung compatible PDF documents using the pdf-rs library.

By passing a different attachment name using the --name parameter you can also extract other attached files from any PDF document as the tool doesn't perform any verification regarding the filetype.

The executable file will be located in the target/release/ folder.
