Have you ever tried converting bank statements to an Excel sheet or to a CSV? If you have, then you understand how cumbersome, time-consuming and complicated it can be to convert or export bank statements to CSV or Excel.

It gets even more complex if the data you intend to extract bank transactions from a scanned document and not a native PDF document. Without a tool like Docparser, it can be challenging to export scanned bank statement to Excel because you simply can’t “select” and copy & paste the transactions.

Docparser is a PDF parser tool that converts data trapped in PDF documents into actionable CSV or Excel spreadsheets. It can also convert bank statements and credit card statements into other formats such as JSON or XML.
