Why finance cares
SOC2 customers block “misc data extract” SaaS. Yet PDFs remain the lingua franca of bank portals.
How ExactPDF helps
PDF to JSON detects grid-shaped regions and exports CSV/JSON you can load via pandas or COPY in Postgres.
If the table is actually a scan, warm up with PDF to Text OCR mode first.

Tables → JSON/CSV for finance and ops — no statement upload to strangers.
Open ToolFrequently asked questions
Is extracted JSON audit-ready?
It is only as accurate as the PDF layout. Always spot-check opening balances against the source PDF before posting to GL.
Multi-page statements?
Run extraction per page range; concatenate CSVs in pandas or Sheets — still faster than manual entry.
