Text-Based vs Scanned Bank Statement PDFs
How to tell whether a bank statement PDF is text-based or scanned and why it affects extraction quality.
How to tell the difference
Text-based PDFs are generated digitally by the bank and usually let you select individual words. Scanned PDFs are page images and require OCR before table extraction can work.
Scanned statements can take longer and may need high-quality mode when the original image is faded, rotated, or compressed.
