## When it happens

The invoice is under VeriFactu and is not registered with the AEAT, so it has no PDF: the PDF carries the QR code of that registration. Its registration was rejected before reaching the AEAT, or it was voided without ever being registered. `verifactu.error_message` says why. Answered at once: this invoice will never have a PDF.

## How to fix it

Read the invoice's `verifactu` block and act on the rejection; see handling AEAT rejections. To deliver the invoice, issue it again once the cause is fixed. You can still email it without the PDF with `attach_pdf: false`.

## Retry

Do not retry. The outcome is final: sending the same request again gets the same answer.
