How to Fix Broken Square Checking Excel Statement Rows

🔴 The Problem: Square Checking PDF to Excel Creates Broken Rows

If you've ever tried to convert a Square Checking 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 Square Checking statements is: Square payment processing with batch settlements on separate lines, instant transfer fee deductions, Square Capital loan repayments mixed with sales

This happens because Square Checking'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: 05/11/2026 BATCH SETTLEMENT $1,250.00
Row 2: (empty) Batch ID: SQ-20261105-789
Row 3: (empty) Fees: -$37.50 (2.9% + $0.30/trans)

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

✅ After (LedgPDF Clean Output)

Row 1: 05/11/2026 | BATCH SETTLEMENT SQ-20261105-789 (Fees: $37.50) | Net: $1,212.50

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

Does this work with older Square Checking statement formats?

Yes. Our AI adapts to Square Checking's statement format regardless of when it was generated. It works with statements from any year.

What if my statement is scanned or a photo?
