PDF file to XML for Revenue.ie

Fann Linn

Hi lads, looking for some assistance please. I've a file to send to Revenue online but according to them I must send it in XML format, not pdf or jpeg.

Can anyone give some advice please?

XML is a text file, with specific formatting rules, see https://www.revenue.ie/en/online-services/support/software-developers/documents/aeoi/dac7-xsd.xsd for a sample. You could try a pdftotext conversion ( google pdf2text) if your pdf is the correct XML just saved as a pdf

Revenue should be able to provide you with guidance on such files. "sample" XML files are also on their GitHub website. Link below. If they ask for XML, they want it in XML. So not many ways around it. Can you not report the information via ROS manually rather than a file upload?
