    The PDF Generator app converts GOBL (General Open Business Language) documents into professional PDF invoices and documents. This app is designed for tax regimes that don't require electronic reporting or invoicing, making it perfect for generating simple PDF invoices that can be sent directly to customers.

    Once configured, the PDF Generator works with any GOBL invoice produced for any country in the world, providing a flexible solution for businesses operating globally or in jurisdictions without mandatory e-invoicing requirements.

    **Key Features**

    * **Global Compatibility:** Works with GOBL documents from any country, making it suitable for international businesses.
    * **Customizable Templates:** Configure logos, languages, date formats, and layout options to match your brand and regional preferences.
    * **Multiple Layouts:** Support for different page layouts including A4 and other standard formats.
    * **Localization:** Generate PDFs in multiple languages with proper date and number formatting.
    * **Professional Output:** Produces legally compliant PDF invoices with all necessary fields and proper formatting.
