+  # Create ZUGFeRD / Factur-X hybrid electronic invoices with SelectPdf Online API.
+  #
+  # A hybrid electronic invoice is one PDF/A-3 file carrying both halves of the invoice: the page a human reads,
+  # and the XML a recipient's accounting system reads. This client converts a URL or an HTML string into the visible invoice
+  # and embeds the XML into it as an associated file, with the metadata invoice software looks for.
+  #
+  # It derives from HtmlToPdfClient, so every conversion setting - page size, margins, headers, footers, rendering engine - applies here too.
+  # Use the create_from_* methods rather than the inherited convert_* methods: the invoice endpoint takes a multipart request,
+  # because the XML is uploaded as a file part.
+  #
+  # The carrier document must be PDF/A-3. The default is SelectPdf::PdfStandard::PDF_A3A, the accessible level, which the standards recommend
+  # because it makes the visible invoice readable by assistive technology as well as archivable. Because PdfA3A is a tagged standard,
+  # a request that does not set a rendering engine is promoted to Chromium by the API, which reports the engine used in the X-SelectPdf-Engine response header.
+  #
+  # There is no way to attach an invoice XML to an existing PDF you already have: the XML can only be embedded into a document created as PDF/A-3.
