Desjardins PDF to Excel: Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to common questions about bank statement PDF conversion

Why does copy-paste from Desjardins PDF mess up my Excel spreadsheet?
The PDF contains complex layouts with multiple columns and embedded images, making it difficult for OCR to accurately interpret the text.
Can I download CSV directly from Desjardins instead?
Log into your Desjardins account. Go to Statements & Documents. Select the period. Look for the download icon (usually top right) and select CSV to avoid PDF conversion fees.
Can I import the extracted rows into QuickBooks or Xero?
Yes. Export reviewed transaction rows as Excel, CSV, structured JSON, QuickBooks-friendly CSV, or Xero-friendly CSV. Check fields against the source statement and use saved mappings to review duplicate, overlapping, or missing periods before importing recurring batches.
Does this work with scanned or photographed bank statements?
Yes. Our OCR reads both digital PDFs and scanned images. Upload a clear scan or phone photo (PDF, JPG, PNG), then review the extracted transactions before exporting.
Is it safe to upload my bank statement? What happens to my data?
Uploads use HTTPS and remain available only through your authenticated private workspace so you can review and export them. Privacy, retention, and deletion details are linked in the footer.
