Text PDFs, scans and password-protected files
A PDF that you download from online banking normally has a real text layer, and Satr can read its rows. You can test this by trying to select text in the PDF.
Scanned pages and photos saved as PDF are images. Satr does not do OCR, so it will tell you there is no text.
Password-protected PDFs open after you type the password in your browser. Neither the password nor the file goes to a server.
How Philippines amounts and dates are handled
In Philippines, amounts are normally written in PHP (₱); the decimal mark is a dot (.) and the thousands separator is a comma (,). A typical date format is MM/DD/YYYY or DD-Mon-YYYY.
Some statements put the month first (MM/DD/YYYY); check the date order in the preview when the day is 12 or lower. Dates with month names, such as 01-Apr-2025, are recognised in English; month names in other languages may need a manual check.
Satr recognised these number and date patterns in our own checks, and you can still change the number format and column roles before exporting.
Using the Excel file in QuickBooks and Xero
Accounting packages used in Philippines, such as QuickBooks and Xero, let you import spreadsheet files. Export from Satr as XLSX or CSV and match the columns there; Satr is not connected to those programs.
