Programs to Read XML.XAdES Files: ProcertumSmartSign Alternatives + Comoveo CRM Offer

Best answers

How can I open and read files with the .xml.xades extension?

You can open .xml.xades files with any XML editor, because they are XML documents with an attached digital signature, or with ProCertum SmartSign by choosing Verify and then Show document [#18634656][#18635303] If the system has a default XML editor set, the file can open directly from Explorer and the signed document content will be displayed there [#18634830][#18635303] One user also reported that changing the default XML app helped, and then saving the content removed the .xades part [#18637052] Another reply mentioned a free alternative from PWPW: Sigill/Sigillum Sign from sigillum.pl/pliki, which was used to convert a XAdES file to plain PDF [#20421920]

    Yes, yes, I read, it adds little to reading these files. I suggest: https://ekrs.ms.gov.pl/ and choose a financial document viewer and, for example, this krs 0000071647. then show the details then download the documents and these files signed with this signature ..... unfortunately I can't open it.

    Do you have the program that is written at the end of the article? And the second issue is whether you have the right to open the company's documents.

    From picture 2 #Prot you can read a lot. You can have such a record in various ways. I don't know if you need fully formatted text or just some data. A file with the .xml extension is a specific file. Even as soon as you change the extension from xades to xml and try to open it with Excel, you will read a lot of content.

    If you answer OK then you will save the file and you will get the same view as given #Prot

    According to my knowledge in this area, e-financial statements are prepared in the structure imposed by the Ministry of Finance (according to the xsd template file) in the xml format. Such a file is signed either internally (digital signatures of signatures are entered inside the xml file) or externally, and then an additional file is created with the same name but with the extension xml.xades which also has an xml type structure (i.e. it can be opened with any xml editor :D ) and basically only contains the digital signature of the signatures :!:
    I will check your Certum software tomorrow, but on the basis of the screenshot I can see that you are trying to operate on the tab signing :cry: and you should run the tab signature verification :idea:

    The Centrum program defaults to write in the format as the file is without the .xades extension, i.e. as it was filename.doc.xades it will write it down filename.doc
    How do we have the file here filename.xml.xades it will save in .xml and "by ptok" format.

    Using the given application, once again |: https://e-sprawozdania.biz.pl/show/ we have the ability to comfortably read the financial statements, I am not able to understand that so far there is no clear way to view these files. At the moment, it looks a bit as if the "sealing" concealed the content of the report of companies that should be made available to the public. Tomorrow I will try to change extensions / remove xades / but it probably won't go .... :(
    What did you mean #ta_tar that defaults to write, I can't save there ...?
    #Prot, tomorrow I will try to set up a default xml application in the system, let me know how it works.

    If you downloaded this PE xml.xml.xades you can open it from the explorer via the ProCertum SmartSign application :idea: :!:
    You should get the view as in the screenshot

    You can get the same effect by directly opening the report file in any xml editor or any other program that opens xml files - e.g. MS Word :please:

    Bingo, thanks, I had to struggle a bit to change the default xml app from open offica to textedit and it worked but only for docx (it opened automatically), xml doesn't open automatically - but there is a way to do it. After selecting a signer, you have to give: show signature and then there is a field save the content, no xades and voil?.

    Therefore, I suggest that the xml file that you "decrypt" open normally but with Excel. You only need to change the height of the poem (at the beginning I gave 50) and the content is more readable.
    PS Now I tried LibreOffice (spreadsheet) and unfortunately it only imports the text there.

    Hi, I received a letter from the Office regarding taxes in the XADES format and no information on how to open it :-/
    It turned out that PWPW provides a free program Sigill Sign download from the site https://sigillum.pl/pliki and I converted it to plain PDF with no problem. I recommend.

FAQ

TL;DR: In 3 clicks you can view XML.XAdES files; "press the button verify" then "show document" in ProCertum SmartSign. Works on Windows/Mac when a default XML editor is set. This FAQ helps accountants and developers read eKRS reports and verify signatures. [Elektroda, Prot, post #18635303]

Why it matters: It speeds up due diligence by letting you open eKRS financials and confirm digital signatures without hassle.

Quick Facts

What program opens XML.XAdES files from eKRS?

Use ProCertum SmartSign to verify the file, then click Show document to open the report. You can also open the XML report directly with MS Word. ProCertum passes the report to your system’s default XML editor after verification. This covers viewing and signature verification in one workflow. [Elektroda, Prot, post #18635303]

How do I view an XML.XAdES in ProCertum SmartSign?

Follow these steps:
  1. Open the XML.XAdES in ProCertum SmartSign.
  2. Click Verify, then Show document.
  3. The report opens in your default XML editor; set one if prompted. This is the quickest way to confirm a valid signature and read the content. [Elektroda, Prot, post #18635303]

Can I open XML.XAdES directly without signature software?

Yes. Open it in any application that reads XML. As one expert noted, "all the applications that open files xml they also open signed files, i.e. xml.xades". If your default XML editor is set, double-clicking often works. Editors include code editors and document processors that support XML. Verification still requires a signature tool if you need legal assurance. [Elektroda, Prot, post #18637186]

How do I read these files in Excel or Calc?

Open the XML directly in Excel, or rename .xades to .xml and open it. Increase row height to 50 to make long cells readable. LibreOffice Calc imports only raw text in this case, so formatting may be poor. This approach is good for quick data inspection, not signature validation. [Elektroda, ta_tar, post #18637193]

ProCertum only shows “signing.” How do I verify instead?

Switch to the Signature verification tab in ProCertum SmartSign. The Signing tab is for creating signatures, not reading them. Load the XML.XAdES there and run verification. Then use Show document to view the underlying report in your XML editor. [Elektroda, Prot, post #18634656]

ProCertum says it can’t open the file. What should I change?

Set a default XML editor in your operating system or within ProCertum’s settings. Without a default XML handler, ProCertum may fail to launch the report view. After setting one, re-open the XML.XAdES and use Verify, then Show document. Notepad++ or similar editors work well as defaults. [Elektroda, Prot, post #18634830]

Are KRS financial documents public to read?

Yes. The data is intended to be publicly available, which is why it is shared through the eKRS portal. You can browse and download the files without special entitlements. Always respect any legal use conditions posted on the platform. [Elektroda, pabelos1972, post #18629065]

How do I fetch the files from eKRS?

Use the Financial document viewer on ekrs.ms.gov.pl, pick a KRS number, and show details. Then download the available documents for that entity. You can get both the XML report and its XML.XAdES signature file. Save them to a local folder for verification and reading. [Elektroda, pabelos1972, post #18628959]

What’s inside an XML.XAdES file versus the XML report?

The XML report contains the financial data structured per the ministry’s XSD. The XML.XAdES file is an XML container that stores the digital signature metadata. Open the XML to read the report; use a signature tool to verify the XML.XAdES. Keep the pair together for proper validation. [Elektroda, Prot, post #18634656]

Is there a free alternative that converts to PDF?

Yes. PWPW’s Sigillum Sign is free to download and can open XAdES files. Users report converting the signed content to a plain PDF without issues. This is convenient when recipients expect a printable document. Always verify the signature before conversion for compliance. [Elektroda, BYQ77, post #20421920]

How do I extract plain XML from an XML.XAdES on macOS?

Open the file in ProCertum, select a signer, and choose Show signature. Then use Save content to export the underlying XML without the .xades extension. If it doesn’t auto-open, set TextEdit or another XML-capable app as the default. This resolves most viewing issues on Mac. [Elektroda, pabelos1972, post #18637052]

Notepad++ or Sigillum Sign 4—do they open XML.XAdES?

Yes. Users successfully opened XML.XAdES with Notepad++ and with Sigillum Sign 4 on Windows XP. Notepad++ shows the XML structure for inspection. Sigillum tools handle signature-aware viewing. These options help when newer suites are unavailable. Verification should still be performed when needed. [Elektroda, Prot, post #18633389]

Why do I see 13 files for one company?

Some entities have multiple attachments for a given year, which can look like many files. One case showed 13 files listed for a single company. Identify which you need: the core report, annexes, or the signature file. Download selectively to reduce confusion. [Elektroda, ta_tar, post #18629071]

Can I modify a signed report?

Avoid modifying signed files. One expert warned that such files have internal and external protections, e.g., ADS. Any change will break the signature verification. Always keep originals for audit trails. Edit only unsigned working copies if necessary. [Elektroda, Prot, post #18633389]
