Hi Support at VeryPDF,
I downloaded several different trial copies of conversion software and tried to extract the transaction data from my banking statement PDF file yesterday. I either get the following message: "The selected PDF file contains scanned pages that will appear as bitmap images in the converted PDF file." OR the output file is essentially blank.
Your website said that your product should be able to convert my banking statements. It appears the data are actually scanned images and not a data table.
Can you confirm that your product can do this before I go forward? Is there a trial option available?
I actually did download a trial of your product and used the scan to Excel converter. This did not work. Am I doing something wrong??
Thanks.

The data are captured, but will require significant manipulation so to make them useful. Is there any way to get the data displayed in excel as they appear in the visual tables in the PDF file?
