Create an invoice with tax value with Adobe Acrobat DC

You can use Adobe Acrobat DC (the free version of the software) to create electronic invoices.

Note: An electronic invoice (The 'tax value' notion relates to French standards) must be signed and time stamped with eIDAS qualified / RGS** certificates. See:Invoice signature.

Who's concerned?

The signature is handled manually therefore this procedure cannot apply to a large amount of invoices.

The procedure

Time stamping configuration

The fist thing to do is configure the time stamping server in the software.

To do so, follow the procedure here: How to configure a time stamping server in Adobe Acrobat Reader DC?
