Export QuickBooks Desktop (IIF)PDF statements do not import as IIF.
QuickBooks Desktop's IIF importer needs structured journal lines, not a PDF or a generic spreadsheet. The IIF export gives older desktop workflows a file shaped for that importer.
How it works
From PDF to IIF
- 1
Upload the statement
Add the PDF statement, including scanned, multi-page, and password-protected files up to 50 MB.
- 2
Check the extracted transactions
Bankflow extracts the rows and checks them against the statement's opening and closing balances before export.
- 3
Scope the export
Filter to the account, period, category, or transaction set the destination actually needs.
- 4
Download the .iif file
IIF has a fixed accounting schema, so Bankflow writes the date, account-facing description, and signed amount in the required record layout. Use QuickBooks Desktop's IIF import after confirming the destination account and reviewing the exported scope.
Built for a clean IIF handoff
The format's expected layout
IIF has a fixed accounting schema, so Bankflow writes the date, account-facing description, and signed amount in the required record layout.
Reviewed transactions first
Correct descriptions, merchants, and categories while the data is still easy to edit, then export the cleaned rows.
Balance-checked source data
The statement's opening and closing balances are checked against the extracted rows, so a missing page is flagged before it reaches another system.
Only the rows you chose
Exports follow the active view, so a single statement can yield a monthly file, an account-specific file, or a category-specific file without re-reading the PDF.

FAQ
Common questions
How do I convert a PDF bank statement to IIF?
Upload the statement, review the extracted transactions, filter to the rows you need, and choose IIF in Export. Bankflow downloads the .iif file in the format's expected layout.
What fields are in the IIF export?
IIF has a fixed accounting schema, so Bankflow writes the date, account-facing description, and signed amount in the required record layout.
Can I export only part of a statement?
Yes. Filter by account, date, category, amount, or transaction selection before exporting; the download contains only the rows in that scope.
Are the source transactions checked before export?
Yes. Extraction is checked against the statement's printed opening and closing balances, which flags incomplete parses before you download the file.
