Can This Convert a Scanned Bank Statement PDF?

Scanned bank statements can be converted when the PDF is readable enough; bad scans should fail rather than produce guessed transaction rows.

Short answer

Scanned PDFs can work when the image is clear enough, but poor scans need review and should not be trusted blindly.

Use this workflow

  1. Upload the original PDF statement.
  2. Check that only transaction rows were extracted.
  3. Review dates, descriptions, amounts and balances against the PDF.
  4. Download the XLS file and keep the original PDF as the source record.
