[GNC] Convert PDF to OFX/CVS

[rick1]

Many PDF programs will convert PDF's to Excel Formats. I use Kofax Power PDF.

What Mr. Browder really needs is a different bank. For a bank to not provide a usable digital download ought to be disqualifying.

Buy there's another option, that I don't think I've seen posted yet.

The OP is presumably using those "multiple file systems" to keep books on different entities. The user should give the files different names even though storing them in different locations.

Then, if the user forgets to use the shortcuts you suggested, or just doesn't like the shortcut idea, they can simply open GnuCash from the regular program icon. GC will automatically open the last file the user was working on. If that's the "wrong" one, click File and the last N files worked on will appear in the menu; just select the appropriate one.

Unlike most Windows programs, GC doesn't show you the location of each file, only its name. (At least that's true in the version I'm running.) That's why it's important to give the data files different names even if they're in different folders .
