Process a batch of invoices consistently, then sample the outputs before sending or archiving them. Start with the destination requirements, work from a copy, and inspect the downloaded result. Check file counts, names, page counts, totals, and a representative sample from each source type. This keeps the workflow reversible and gives you a concrete final file to review before the next step.

Prepare the invoice PDF batch before processing

Process a batch of invoices consistently, then sample the outputs before sending or archiving them. Record the source filename, size, page count, and any destination rules first. PDFStay's normal invoice PDF batch workflow is designed to process the PDF in the current browser session rather than upload it to PDFStay servers. Your own organization or destination policy remains the final authority.1, 2

FAQ

How should I verify a batch-compressed invoice set?

Check file counts, names, page counts, totals, and a representative sample from each source type. Keep the source until the final recipient, portal, or reviewer has accepted the output.

Does PDFStay guarantee that every invoice PDF batch will be accepted?

No. PDF behavior depends on the source file, browser memory, document features, and the destination system. Follow the destination instructions and verify the exact output.
