Best Practices & Tips

Optimization Tips

  • • Convert statements monthly for easier management
  • • Standardize date formats before importing
  • • Create category mappings for auto-classification
  • • Backup original PDFs and converted CSVs
  • • Use consistent naming conventions

Data Validation

  • • Verify opening and closing balances

  • • Confirm date ranges are complete
  • • Validate debit/credit classification
  • • Cross-check totals with statement summary

Common Issues & Solutions

Missing Transactions

Cause: PDF may have multiple statement periods or hidden pages.
Solution: Check page count, ensure all pages are included, try converting pages separately.

Incorrect Date Format

Cause: Regional date format differences (MM/DD/YY vs DD/MM/YY).
Solution: Specify date format in import settings, use ISO format (YYYY-MM-DD) when possible.

Merged Debit/Credit Columns

Cause: Some banks use single amount column with +/- signs.
Solution: Use spreadsheet formulas to split positive/negative values into separate columns.

Special Characters in Data

Cause: Unicode characters or symbols in transaction descriptions.
Solution: Our converter handles UTF-8 encoding automatically. For import issues, check target software encoding settings.
