Extract PDF bank statement rows into QBO with account metadata for an import check. Review the preview before downloading.
A PDF contains page layout rather than a transaction database. The local reader supports simple dated rows with signed amounts. Scans, separate debit/credit columns and complex tables need optional cloud extraction. All PDF results require comparison with the source.

FIELD MAPPINGThe same transactions.
The same transactions.
A different format.
| Source field | Output | Handling |
|---|---|---|
| Date printed on the statement | DTPOSTED | Source dates are validated. Choose a convention when the file is ambiguous. |
| Description and continuation lines | NAME / MEMO | Supported text is mapped; this does not reconstruct the original accounting structure. |
| Printed signed amount / debit / credit | Signed TRNAMT | Debit/credit direction is retained; amounts are not reconciled automatically. |
| Printed running balance, when recognized | LEDGERBAL only if a final balance is unambiguous; checks in report | Missing balances stay missing. A balance check does not prove every transaction was extracted. |
THREE STEPS
Prepare. Convert. Review.
Check the source
Upload an unlocked PDF file up to 10 MB. Choose a date order if it cannot be established from the file.Guest PDFs are limited to three pages. Scans and complex layouts may require configured cloud extraction.
Read the preview
Compare the transaction count, date range and totals with your source. Check running-balance warnings. A clean balance check does not prove every row was extracted.
Download & validate
Download the QBO output, then inspect its mapping in your destination application. The temporary download expires after first use or 15 minutes. A separate encrypted review copy is retained for 90 days.
Questions about this conversion
When should I choose another format instead of QBO?
Use the bank's original QBO when possible. If the importer rejects institution metadata, a supported CSV mapping may be preferable to changing bank identifiers. This is not a company-file migration.
What should I check before using this export?
Compare row count, first and last dates, debit/credit direction and totals with the source. Review any balance warnings. Test the destination mapping with a copy or test account; a successful export does not prove importer compatibility.
Are my source and result deleted after download?
No. Temporary download links expire after first use or 15 minutes. A private encrypted source/result copy, including failed attempts, is retained for 90 days to investigate errors and evaluate conversion improvements. The upload notice explains storage, and the document receipt lets you request deletion.
