How to Fix Broken Commerzbank Excel Statement Rows

🔴 The Problem: Commerzbank PDF to Excel Creates Broken Rows

If you've ever tried to convert a Commerzbank 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 Commerzbank statements is: German banking format with Dauerauftrag (standing order) references, Lastschrift mandate details, Girocard transactions with merchant categories

This happens because Commerzbank'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: 10.03.2026 DAUERAUFTRAG €350,00
Row 2: (empty) Empfänger: VERMIETER GMBH
Row 3: (empty) Kategorie: Miete/Wohnen

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

✅ After (LedgPDF Clean Output)

Row 1: 10.03.2026 | DAUERAUFTRAG VERMIETER GMBH (Miete/Wohnen) | -€350.00

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