Import a bank-statement PDF into Xero: convert it to a Xero bank statement CSV (Date, Amount, Payee, Description) and upload it to the bank account, then reconcile.
Xero reconciles from imported bank statement lines. When a live feed is missing — historical months, a closed account, an unsupported bank — you import a CSV instead. The step you need is turning the PDF into a Xero-shaped CSV.
Xero's manual bank import expects columns like Date, Amount (signed), Payee and Description. bankpdf's Xero export produces this layout so the import maps without manual fiddling.
Using QuickBooks instead? Use the QuickBooks export.
Xero lets you choose the date format on import; the bankpdf Xero export uses DD/MM/YYYY, which you confirm in the import wizard.
Yes — convert the statements as a batch, then import the merged file.
