Among the innovations are:

A completely revised user interface creates clarity and focuses on functions. The user quickly finds his way around and long training periods are avoided.

E-invoices DSGVO compliant: The "brewer" supports numerous DSGVO compliant invoice formats. These include ZUGFeRD 2.1 and XRechnung, which are mandatory for invoicing to German authorities.

Security thanks to encryption: Support for PDF 2.0. The improved encryption mechanism can be used for even greater protection of documents.

PDF compression: The CIB fluXkomprimator is now part of the CIB pdf brewer and significantly reduces the size of PDF files. The quality is almost maintained and the readability of the documents is guaranteed at all times. This reduces archiving costs and avoids media discontinuity when sending digital documents.
