That is probably “extra information” (i.e., “Memo” field data) related to the transaction on the previous line. That is quite common in bank statements. You have to expect such lines and be prepared to attach them to the prior transaction. I do it as the “Memo” field in my output. <o:p></o:p></p></blockquote><p class=MsoNormal>Aaron would have to confirm, but I suspect he refers to a case where a single table row as shown in the PDF has two rows of text in each cell, becuase there is just too much text for one line. Because PDF knows only about where exactly on the page any text is, but not why it is there (no information about things like tables) the text output would have two lines. The first would have the first line of text from each cell, and the send would have the second line of text from each cell. Putting them back together is theoretically possible, but only if there is some way to know that the second line is not a new row (missing header info?) or part of a manually controlled cleanup phase of the conversion. <o:p></o:p></p></div></div></body></html>
