What the tool does not do
- It does not certify the received invoice is compliant.
- It sends nothing: the file stays on your computer.
- It reads the Factur-X/CII profile, not UBL.
- Its automated tests cover the Factur-X files Clairsmith produces: a file from other software may hold data it does not display.

Frequently asked questions
What is a Factur-X invoice?
It is a PDF invoice that people can read, which also contains an XML file with the invoice data (seller, buyer, amounts, VAT…), readable by software without re-keying. Factur-X is one of the e-invoicing formats in France.
Is my data sent anywhere?
No. The file is read directly in your browser: it is sent neither to Clairsmith nor to any third party.
Does this reader check compliance?
No. It shows the content of the file, without checking its regulatory compliance.
What should I do with an invoice I receive?
Keep the original PDF file, as you received it, for 10 years if your business is in France (Code de commerce, art. L123-22). This reader is only for viewing its content.
