To comply with upcoming EU requirements, enrich the PDF invoices with machine readable XML data so that accounting software can parse invoices right away (without AI) (it's also actually useful). There is a great variety of 'standards' to choose from (xRechnung, ZUGFeRD, Peppol …). Please make that available in the community edition.

Michael Ponrajah Great to see you make progress. Interested to see the kind of solution you will come up with.

Just want to add here that you can't just send any e-Invoicing standard to any company. It depends on which country the company is located in, different countries also have different subsets of UBL and/or requirements.
Besides just sending an XML next to the PDF, you can also send e-Invoices through the Peppol network, which already advertises whether a company can receive e-Invoices and in which format it should be in.
