Debug

Known issues

breakingVersion 4.0+ changed the API: removed the old `FacturX.generate()` without arguments. Now you must pass `xml_file` and `pdf_file`.

fix

Update calls to `FacturX(xml_file='...', pdf_file='...').generate()`

affects: >=4.0

deprecatedThe `pyPdf` dependency is deprecated. Use `PyPDF2` or `pypdf` as a drop-in replacement.

fix

Replace `pip install factur-x` with `pip install factur-x[pdf]` for pypdf, or manually install `pypdf`.

affects: >=4.0

gotchaThe XML file must comply with the Factur-X standard (e.g., EN 16931). Non-compliant XML will raise validation errors.

fix

Validate your XML against the Factur-X schema before passing to the library.

affects: all
