Here is an example invocation. Unfortunately, I don't have a windows machine handy, so you will have to adapt the following to suit windows syntax.
python statement-to-excel.py --in-dir path/to/statements --out-dir path/to/excels --password $e(₹€T
Thank you @nikhilweee for your quick reply. I'm not a coder, only an accountant trying to make my work quicker, so please bear with me 😇
I tried this statement. Looked like it started working but then cmd threw an error
RuntimeError: Please make sure that Ghostscript is installed
After some searching, I installed AGPL version of Ghostscript and after that the error changed to (whole error without file addresses is pasted at the bottom)
ValueError: min() arg is an empty sequence
Will you be kind enough to shed some light on resolving this issue?

I'm having a similar error
@pushkaryadav @anushka17agarwal1 I have tested the script again, it works fine on my system. I'm using python 3.8 and camelot-py version 0.8.2. Can you share your configuration and a sample PDF that doesn't work for you?
Hello @nikhilweee @anushka17agarwal1
For obvious reasons, i can't share any of my credit card pdf.
To Nikhil, I'd suggest that you try it again on a newer HDFC credit card statement if you haven't already.
To Anuhska, fortunately, i found a windows programme (not expensive) that can somehow remove the copy protection, now i can easily copy my data from the pdf. Spent 5-10 minutes on excel to make a helper sheet with MID and SEARCH functions to extract the data (date, narration and debit & credit amount).
@pushkaryadav I guess it's impossible for me to help you debug further without a sample.
@pushkaryadav Got the same error:
File "D:\Python39\lib\site-packages\camelot\parsers\stream.py", line 333, in _generate_columns_and_rows
text_x_min, text_y_min, text_x_max, text_y_max = self._text_bbox(self.t_bbox)

xmin = min([t.x0 for direction in t_bbox for t in t_bbox[direction]])
ValueError: min() arg is an empty sequence
UPDATE: Replaced the formula for Narration.
@simplyrahul
yeah but like I said in my last reply. you can use the windows software named, A-PDF RESTRICTION REMOVER (a-pdf.com) to remove the copy-protection (SECURED) settings from the PDF and then you can manually copy the data into excel, but there's still a small issue that the data is copied into just one column.
To solve that issue, that is, to differentiate DATE, DESCRIPTION and Credit/Debit Amount, I have made a small excel file and with the help of few basic formulas, my excel does the work in a second.
Pasting the formulas I'm using below, assuming data is copied into A2 and below.
Cell B2
=ISERROR(SEARCH(" cr",$A2,LEN($A2)-3))
Cell C2
=TRIM(RIGHT(SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(A2," Cr","")," ",REPT(" ",255)),255))
Cell D2 (For Date)
=DATE(MID($A2,7,4),MID($A2,4,2),LEFT($A2,2))
Cell E2 (For Narration/Description)
=MID($A2,12,IF($B2,LEN($A2)-LEN($C2)-12,LEN($A2)-LEN($C2)-12-3))
Cell F2 (For Purchase transactions)
=NUMBERVALUE(IF($B2,$C2,0))
Cell G2 (For Payment transactions)
=NUMBERVALUE(IF($B2,0,$C2))
Hope this helps.

@nikhilweee same error about min() arg in my system too on a Windows machine.
Have you been able to find a solution?
@pushkaryadav good to know an accountant automating mundane stuff, what other solutions have you tried?
You can use Tabula to extract from PDF and also for HDFC CC, get a YESS statement from bank which consolidates all of your CC statements and easier for accounting
@pushkaryadav
thanks on sharing the excel codes..can you change the excel formula for Cell E2 (For Narration/Description)
Its the same as for date
@malharlakdawala
Updated the formula.
These formulas were supposed to be temporary but fortunately they are still working after 6 months and I am yet to see an error/incorrect output. If I ever change the formula, aka make the formulas more flexible I'll share them here.
One good example of making the sheet better is in the formula of B2. Instead of looking for the " cr" in the whole sentence, I should rather look for " cr" using the RIGHT function.
Alternative formula for cell B2
=NOT(RIGHT($A2,3)=" Cr")
Regards.
@sethia
Thank you for the suggestion but IIRC, I did try tabula or something similar, it was too much work and didn't really work. My current setup is much easier and user friendly, at least for me.
So currently, I have no need to look for further options.
Bank statement is already being updated daily since it is a necessity. So a combined statement won't help much as I'll have to get in touch with the bank once again and they are not working at their full potential for many months now. It took multiple reminder phone calls and three weeks just to switch our banking e-statement from monthly to daily.
Thanks for this @nikhilweee
For windows, I modified the code as below and ran it on Jupyter. I just directly mentioned the filepaths in the code, instead of feeding through the function, which was causing the issues. You can change the actual paths as per your own system. I used a sample folder on the desktop to check if this works. Thanks @nikhilweee :)

@cstambay glad that I could be of help :)
I had to install Ghostscript along with camelot-py[cv] after that it worked perfectly fine - Thank you @nikhilweee
@simplyrahul I got the same error
ValueError: min() arg is an empty sequence
in my Windows system. After some debugging, I found a fix by changing the _text_bbox(t_bbox) method in camelot-py's file 'stream.py' as below. It works for me now. Hope it helps.
`
def _text_bbox(t_bbox):
"""Returns bounding box for the text present on a page.
Parameters
----------
t_bbox : dict
Dict with two keys 'horizontal' and 'vertical' with lists of
LTTextLineHorizontals and LTTextLineVerticals respectively.
Returns
-------
text_bbox : tuple
Tuple (x0, y0, x1, y1) in pdf coordinate space.
"""
xmin = 0
ymin = 0
xmax = 0
ymax = 0
if len([t.x0 for direction in t_bbox for t in t_bbox[direction]])>0:
xmin = min([t.x0 for direction in t_bbox for t in t_bbox[direction]])
ymin = min([t.y0 for direction in t_bbox for t in t_bbox[direction]])
xmax = max([t.x1 for direction in t_bbox for t in t_bbox[direction]])
ymax = max([t.y1 for direction in t_bbox for t in t_bbox[direction]])
text_bbox = (xmin, ymin, xmax, ymax)

Thanks a lot, @nikhilweee for this! Been using it from the last three years.
While running on a new system, got the following error:
PyPDF2.errors.DeprecationError: PdfFileReader is deprecated and was removed in PyPDF2 3.0.0. Use PdfReader instead
Refer camelot-dev/camelot#339
What worked for me
python3.8 -m pip uninstall PyPDF2
python3.8 -m pip install PyPDF2~=2.0
Looks like the method append has been removed from the pandas module a long time ago

Hello @nikhilweee
Does this script still work? If yes, then can you please write a small guide on how to use it in Windows?
I have download Python 3.9.4 and have installed the per-requsiticis (pip install camelot-py opencv-python-headless) but as soon as I run it, I get this error...
So where do I have to define my input & output folder and the common password for the files?
I have tried replacing '--in-dir' with my Input directory address, '--out-dir' with my output directory address and '--password' with the common password for my 5-6 files in my INPUT folder. I even replaced the "" of windows directory address with "/" but I am still getting an error
TypeError: 'required' is an invalid argument for positionals
