How to Fix Broken OCBC Bank Excel Statement Rows

🔴 The Problem: OCBC Bank PDF to Excel Creates Broken Rows

If you've ever tried to convert a OCBC Bank 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 OCBC Bank statements is: OCBC Digital app with PayNow proxy details on separate lines, 360 Account bonus interest categories, multi-currency Global Savings transactions

This happens because OCBC Bank'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: 15/04/2026 PAYNOW SGD 85.00
Row 2: (empty) Proxy: +65 8765 4321
Row 3: (empty) 360 Bonus: Salary credit

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

✅ After (LedgPDF Clean Output)

Row 1: 15/04/2026 | PAYNOW +65 8765 4321 (360 Bonus Cat: Salary) | -SGD 85.00

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