How to convert a password-protected bank statement PDF to Excel

Most banks lock the PDFs they email or let you download. Many online converters ask you to upload the locked file and type the password into their website. You can avoid that: PaisaProof asks for the password in your own browser and uses it only to open the file on your device.

What the password usually is

Banks rarely publish the exact rule, and it differs between banks and even between products, so check the email or the download page that came with the statement. Common patterns combine your name, date of birth, customer ID, or the last digits of your account or mobile number. If the bank's message does not say, look in your net banking help section for "statement password".

Steps

1. Open the PaisaProof converter and drop the PDF on the page.
2. When asked, type the password. It is used locally to open the file and is not sent anywhere or saved.
3. If it says the password did not work, re-check capital letters and the format from the bank's message, then try again.
4. When the file opens, check the green badge. "N of N rows verified" means every row satisfies previous balance ± amount = printed balance.
5. Click Download Excel or Download CSV.

What the tool does not do

• It does not guess or crack passwords. You must know the password.
• It does not read scanned or photographed statements. The PDF must contain selectable text, which net banking statements normally do.

Is it safe to put a bank statement in a web page?

The page runs the conversion with code in your browser tab and has a Content-Security-Policy that blocks it from sending your data to other servers. You can confirm this yourself: after the page loads, switch off your internet and convert a file. It still works.
