Step by step
- 01
Keep every statement page
Use the complete PDF in its original order so page coverage and balance checks have the full source.
- 02
Check scan readability
Confirm that dates, descriptions, amount signs, and balances can be read at normal zoom.
- 03
Upload the protected file
Choose the PDF normally. If it needs a password, Fulla moves it through the password-required flow.
- 04
Review scan-derived rows
Inspect evidence boxes, wrapped descriptions, amount signs, and page transitions before approval.
Prefer the complete original PDF
Avoid screenshots of individual rows when the bank already supplied a PDF. A complete file preserves page order, statement-period context, and any opening or closing balance needed for reconciliation.
Check what the scan actually shows
Blur, skew, shadows, clipped margins, and low contrast can hide decimal points or negative signs. Confirm that the smallest transaction text is readable and that no page is rotated or missing.
Fulla accepts text, scanned, and mixed PDFs, but scan quality still affects the draft. Source-linked review is where you confirm the result.
Handle passwords in the document flow
Password-protected statements can enter a needs-password state. Provide the password through that document flow, then continue processing and review.
If a scanned page needs manual re-extraction, it uses the same pinned provider policy and does not consume a second page.
