            <blockquote>
              <p>Every year billions of invoices are exchanged. The majority is emailed in an unstructured PDF format, which means only humans can read and process it.</p>

              <p>Invoice-x is a collection of open source applications and libraries aimed at automating the invoicing- and accounting workflow for businesses. Currently we offer tools to extract structured data from legacy PDF invoices, as well as embedding and editing structured XML-representations in hybrid invoices.</p>
