Account statement

A bank-style statement: the period’s transactions between an opening and a closing balance. It is PDF 2.0, meeting PDF/A-4f and PDF/UA-2 together, and carries the transactions as a CSV attachment for people who want the data, not the page.

Standards: PDF/A-4f · PDF/UA-2, checked with veraPDF on every change. Download the PDF.

What it shows

• PDF/A-4f and PDF/UA-2 (PDF 2.0)
• An attachment built from a parameter
• Table footer rows with row headers (the balances)
• Page footers with “page n of m”
