How to Fix Broken Bank of America Excel Statement Rows

🔴 The Problem: Bank of America PDF to Excel Creates Broken Rows

If you've ever tried to convert a Bank of America bank statement PDF to Excel using a free online converter, you know the frustration. The converted spreadsheet looks nothing like the original PDF. Rows are split, descriptions are scattered across multiple cells, and the data is unusable for accounting.

The specific issue with Bank of America statements is: Running balance column included in exports, transaction descriptions split across 2-3 rows

This happens because Bank of America's PDF format uses variable-length description fields that can wrap across multiple lines. Generic PDF converters treat each line as a separate row, completely breaking the transaction structure.

What It Looks Like: Before vs After

❌ Before (Broken Generic Converter Output)

Row 1: 02/03 CHECK #1180 -$675.00
Row 2: (empty) $12,345.67 (running balance)
Row 3: (empty) TO: UTILITY COMPANY

Notice how the description is split across multiple rows and the running balance is mixed in.

✅ After (LedgPDF Clean Output)

Row 1: 02/03 | CHECK #1180 TO: UTILITY COMPANY | -$675.00

All data is in a single row with the complete description merged together.
