Tax Return Faster Maybe?

Extract texts from Bank Statements (PDFs) and find keywords to print out their values or output to a csv file. This works the best if the statement starts with the date (01 Jan/20 Dec) and ends with either the value (1,230.13) or value + balance (5.43 60.00).

Folder setup
