Commandline

After downloading Mustang, besides integrating into your software you can also use it on the command line:

Extract XML

➜ target git:(master) ✗ java -Xmx1G -Dfile.encoding=UTF-8 -jar Mustang-CLI-2.15.2.jar --action extract

Source PDF (default: invoice.pdf):
Ouput PDF (default: invoice.ZUGFeRD.pdf):
Written to invoice.ZUGFeRD.pdf
        

Combining PDF and XML

In this case the source PDF has to be a PDF/A-1 like our “blanko”

java -Xmx1G -Dfile.encoding=UTF-8 -jar Mustang-CLI-2.15.2.jar --action combine

Source PDF (default: invoice.pdf):
ZUGFeRD XML (default: factur-x.xml):
Ouput PDF (default: invoice.ZUGFeRD.pdf):
ZUGFeRD version (1 or 2) (default: 2):
Profile  [M]INIMUM, BASIC [W]L, [B]ASIC,
[C]IUS, [E]N16931, EX[T]ENDED or [X]RECHNUNG (default: E):
Written to invoice.ZUGFeRD.pdf

Validate ZUGFeRD 1, 2 or XRechnung files

As an example the validation of a specified, valid XML file with the –no-notices option. To additionally omit non-XML-output redirect error out to /dev/null on Linux and Mac, to NUL on MS Windows cmd.exe and to $null on MS Windows Powershell:

java -Xmx1G -Dfile.encoding=UTF-8 -jar Mustang-CLI-2.15.2.jar --no-notices --action validate --source invoice.xml 2>/dev/null
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<validation filename="invoice.xml" datetime="2020-11-12 10:45:12">
  <xml>
    <info>
      <version>2</version>
      <profile>urn:cen.eu:en16931:2017#compliant:factur-x.eu:1p0:en16931</profile>
      <validator version="2.0.0"/>
      <rules>
        <fired>201</fired>
        <failed>0</failed>
      </rules>
      <duration unit="ms">8225</duration>
    </info>
    <summary status="valid"/>
  </xml>
  <summary status="valid"/>
</validation>

Or as an example a invalid pdf file without –no-notices:

The input can be a PDF or a XML file. Factur-X/ZUGFeRD 1, 2.2 and XRechnung 3 are supported. Files in the EN16931 profile are additionally validated against XRechnung on an notice-level unless –no-notices is specified. The according notices are thrown as errors if it’s a “XRechnung” (reference profile) or a real XRechnung. In case of
PDF input the PDF is additionally validated using an embedded VeraPDF, the results are included in the XML report.
The result will be XML on standard output and potentially messages on error out, as well as a log in a “logs” directory. If you want to analyze this log in real time, there is a suitable config file for Elasticsearch/Logstash/Kibana .
The following error types are specified:

section	meaning
1	file not found
2	additional data schema validation fails
3	xml data not found
4	schematron rule failed
5	file too small
6	VeraPDFException
7	IOException PDF
8	File does not look like PDF nor XML (contains neither %PDF nor <?xml)
9	IOException XML
11	XMP Metadata: ConformanceLevel not found
12	XMP Metadata: ConformanceLevel contains invalid value
13	XMP Metadata: DocumentType not found
14	XMP Metadata: DocumentType invalid
15	XMP Metadata: Version not found
16	XMP Metadata: Version contains invalid value
18	schema validation failed
19	XMP Metadata: DocumentFileName contains invalid value
20	not a pdf
21	XMP Metadata: DocumentFileName not found”)
22	generic XML validation exception
23	Not a PDF/A-3
24	Issues in CEN EN16931 Schematron Check
25	Unsupported profile type
26	No rules matched, XML to minimal?
27	XRechnung schematron validation

The return code of the commandline call will be 0 on correct and !=0 on invalid files.
Use –action validateExpectValid and –d to specify a directory whose contents are supposed to be valid, for directories with intentionally only invalid files use –action validateExpectInvalid for a return code of 0 on directories with invalid files.

Visualize XML into HTML

Using

java -Xmx1G -Dfile.encoding=UTF-8 -jar Mustang-CLI-2.15.2.jar --action visualize

you can convert XML to HTML, which is a experimental feature, in particular for the Extended profile of ZUGFeRD 2. Please report any issues which may arise with steps to reproduce.

Visualize XML into PDF

java -Xmx1G -Dfile.encoding=UTF-8 -jar Mustang-CLI-2.15.2.jar --action pdf

Creates a (german) PDF/A-3 file from the XML (to convert to Factur-X you can e.g. still run “combine”).

Convert PDF/A-1 to PDF/A-3

java -Xmx1G -Dfile.encoding=UTF-8 -jar Mustang-CLI-2.15.2.jar --action a3only

Migrates a PDF/A-1 into a PDF/A-3 file without adding ZUGFeRD metadata hinzuzufügen. The same contents will be labelled the new version (which is valid because the format is backward-compatible), additional features like the PDF/A-2 JPG2000-compression of images will not be used.

Convert CII to UBL

Mustang uses a library of Phillip Helger to be able to convert from UN/CEFACT CII XML to UBL XML:

java -Xmx1G -Dfile.encoding=UTF-8 -jar Mustang-CLI-2.15.2.jar --action ubl

Factur-X XML source (default: factur-x.xml):
UBL target (default: ubl-invoice.xml):
Written to ubl-invoice.xml

Migrating ZUGFeRD 1 to 2

java -Xmx1G -Dfile.encoding=UTF-8 -jar Mustang-CLI-2.15.2.jar --action upgrade

ZUGFeRD 1.0 XML
        source (default: ZUGFeRD-invoice.xml):
        ZUGFeRD 2.0 XML target (default: factur-x.xml):
    Written to factur-x.xml

To migrate XML from ZF1 to Version 2 Mustangproject internally uses a self written (read: incomplete) XSLT-Transformation. Corrections and amendments are much appreciated.

Metrics

The original purpose for the command line tool was finding out, how many ZUGFeRD invoices already existed in a directory structure of PDFs.
Use

java -Xmx1G -Dfile.encoding=UTF-8 -jar Mustang-CLI-2.15.2.jar --action metrics -d <Directory name>

E.g.

java -Xmx1G -Dfile.encoding=UTF-8 -jar Mustang-CLI-2.15.2.jar --action metrics -d /tmp/XMLExamples

.................................................................................................................................................
===================================================================
Files: 145 Dirs: 15 PDF: 18 ZUGFeRD: 14

Each dot is a checked file.
The software works recursively, in this example 18 PDF files were found in 15 directories. 14 of those 18 files were identified as ZUGFeRD 1 or 2.Usually only files ending in .pdf, .PDF etc. are checked. By additionally specifying -i it is possible to check independently from file name extension.

java -Xmx1G -Dfile.encoding=UTF-8 -jar Mustang-CLI-2.15.2.jar --action metrics -l

With -l it is possible to pass a list of files to be checked for ZUGFeRDIty via standard input. A empty last line starts the check.
Example:

java -Xmx1G -Dfile.encoding=UTF-8 -jar Mustang-CLI-2.15.2.jar --action metrics -l
