Format · PDF
Reconciliation that reads your PDF statement directly.
Some banks still don't offer a CSV export. ParseNation reads the PDF statement, extracts the transaction table, and from there matches every line to the receipt or invoice that supports it.
What the PDF contains
PDF bank statements vary wildly — multi-page tables, headers that repeat, footnotes, balance carryovers, sometimes two statements stitched into one file. ParseNation extracts the transaction rows and ignores everything else.
How ParseNation reads it
Native PDF text is preferred (most banks). For scanned or image-only PDFs, we fall back to OCR. The extracted transactions are normalized to the same shape as our CSV path, then matched against the documents in your folder.
Known to export this format
- Older retail bank statement exports (CSV not offered)
- Some EU corporate banks (mandatory PDF format)
- Credit card monthly statements
- Brokerage and treasury statements
Edge cases we handle
- Multi-page tables with repeating headers — we de-duplicate.
- Line-broken vendor descriptions — re-joined automatically.
- Statements with embedded charts or marketing pages — skipped.
- Scanned (image-only) PDFs — OCR is slower; flagged in the run summary.
