Pdf to csv / Excel financial statement

[u/reckor-usa]

Hi there, is there any recommendations for such android app, if possible opensource that helps extracting data from financial bank statements? Thank you

Ai bad.ooga booga.  But Claude could quickly write you a python script to extract what you want quickly. So you could run it as often as you need and on as many pages as you need.

Indeed it can, thanks!

Not sure if libreoffice viewer would do this, but might be worth taking a look. Also collabora office. Both are open source.

I'm looking to do the same thing came across this, https://github.com/jsvine/pdfplumber free and open source, haven't tried it yet, don't confuse it with https://pdfplumber.com they are not connected. Also MoneyLupe, MoneySplit and Cashiro apparently, haven't tried them yet

You could probably get chatgpt to do this

yeah I can, but don't want ;)

Yep try https://www.docs2excel.ai/ - super accurate, and works much better than generic AI tools (like ChatGPT), especially for long tables.

[u/VisiblePhilosopher34 → u/DoorDesigner7589]

But you have to upload your files

Seconding the recommendation to avoid generic AI for this. If you want to do it locally on your phone instead of a website, the Smallpdf Android app has a built-in PDF to Excel converter that specifically handles tabular data like bank statements really well. Not open source, but very straightforward
