Need a realistic invoice to test a parser, an OCR tool or an AI assistant? Download our sample PDF invoice. It looks like a real supplier invoice after a trip through the office copier. All companies, names and amounts are fictional, so you can share it and upload it anywhere.
What is in the sample invoice
The invoice is a 2-page scanned PDF from a fictional Swedish packaging supplier, Lindqvist Packaging AB, to a fictional German food factory, Northgate Food Products GmbH. It contains:
- Supplier details: company name, logo, address, phone, email, registration number and VAT ID
- Customer details: billing address and VAT ID
- Invoice details: invoice number, invoice date, customer number, purchase order number, delivery notes and delivery date
- Line items: 18 rows with position, article number, description, quantity, unit, unit price and amount
- Totals: net total, VAT at 0 % under the EU reverse charge rule and a total of EUR 45,078.62
- Payment details: payment terms, bank name, IBAN and BIC
Why this invoice is a good test
Real invoices are rarely clean. This sample has the problems that make extraction hard:
- It is a scan, not a digital PDF. Each page is an image, so your tool must read the text with OCR.
- The table runs over 2 pages. The first page ends with a total carried forward to the next one. Your tool must join the rows into one table and not count the carried total as a line item.
- There is noise on top of the data. A rubber stamp, an approval stamp with handwritten fields and a pen note sit on top of the printed text.
- Some values are tricky. Unit prices have 4 decimals, the VAT is 0 % with a reverse charge note, and the bank details are only in the page footer.
