Or try Excel’s Power Query first
Excel can read tables from a text-based PDF for free through Data → Get Data → From File → From PDF. It does not read scanned images and does not check the running balance. Standard Bank’s multi-line descriptions may arrive as separate Power Query rows that you merge by hand, and a scanned statement cannot be read at all.
