Abstract—This paper presents an approach for the automatic generation of printed representations of Ecuadorian electronic invoices using XML Data Binding. The proposed solution is based on the process of converting XML documents into Java objects and then into PDF documents, according to parameters established by the Ecuadorian legislation. The results were analyzed with regard to the elapsed time during the generation of a printed representation and to the size of resulting objects. The results, obtained as part of the implementation of the solution in four companies in Ecuador, show improvements not only in the generation time of printed electronic invoices but also in more robust and secure mechanisms for handling electronic vouchers through their representations in XML format.
