Can I copy-paste from a M&T Bank PDF to Excel manually?

Yes, but it's slow and error-prone. Manual copy-paste typically takes 15-60 minutes per statement and produces formatting errors that require cleanup. Here are the steps:

1. Open your M&T Bank statement PDF in any PDF reader
2. Select all transaction text (Ctrl+A or manually highlight rows)
3. Copy the text (Ctrl+C) and paste into Excel (Ctrl+V)
4. Manually fix column alignment — dates, descriptions, and amounts often merge into one cell
5. Reformat numbers (remove currency symbols, fix negatives)
6. Verify each transaction against the original PDF

Does Adobe Acrobat work for converting M&T Bank statements?

Adobe Acrobat Pro has an "Export to Excel" feature, but it's designed for general PDFs — not specifically for bank statements. Results vary significantly by bank format.

1. Open your M&T Bank PDF in Adobe Acrobat Pro ($20/month subscription required)
2. Click File → Export To → Spreadsheet → Microsoft Excel Workbook
3. Save the file and open it in Excel
4. Review and fix formatting issues — merged columns, split rows, misaligned data

How do I get the most accurate M&T Bank conversion?

• Download digital PDFs from online banking — digital PDFs (not photos or scans) convert with the highest accuracy because text is already machine-readable.
• Verify totals after conversion — check that the sum of debits and credits matches the statement summary. This is a quick way to confirm 100% accuracy.
• Batch upload multiple months — if you need several months of M&T Bank statements converted, upload them all at once. Each file is processed independently.
• Choose the right output format — use Excel for analysis, CSV for universal compatibility, QBO for QuickBooks, or OFX for other accounting software.
• Scanned statements work too — our AI uses OCR to read scanned or photographed statements. Quality may vary based on scan resolution, but 300 DPI or higher works well.
