Thanks. I've been wanting to get into Beancount for a while but my bank only sends me pdf bank statements which has been holding me back. Does your book address that?

Also, I went to your landing page and then clicked on "Click here to download your ebook" and straight away was taken to a credit card form with no indication of how much I would need to pay or that I would need to pay at all and the book wouldn't be free!

This book mainly focuses on extracting data from CSV files. Generally speaking though, if the PDF statements your bank sends have a deterministic format, extracting data should be possible using some PDF parsing library.

Thanks for the feedback about the website! I've changed the button text so the price is displayed inline.
