This is something I'd wished for too. I was using some home accounting software that did plots and charts of your spending, I was copying and pasting to excel, tidying the data and then entering. If it was in .csv format it could be imported directly.
Can you imagine how snazzy an on-line banking site would be that showed charts of your balance over time. I think it would be a great marketing opportunity for a bank - but since when did they listen to what their customers want.
my simplistic way to try work around this was going to be paste the text from the pdf into col A in an excel sheet then use various tests and conditions to try parse it myself
While Ulster do provide the export option and are innovating a little faster than others in certain areas (early[ish] adopters of visa debit etc.), I wouldn't consider their online banking to be good (or anywhere approaching it). Personally, I hate it and find many of the other banks (while still greatly flawed in many ways) far more user friendly. Lost count of how many times I've wanted to hop one of those card readers against the wall....why don't you switch to a better provider like Ulster or NIB mentioned?
If you are all moaning about the poor functionality of AIB (and I believe BoI is no better) why don't you switch to a better provider like Ulster or NIB mentioned? AIB and BoI are broke and can't spend a penny on more than the absolute bare essential technical work required to keep them in line with regulator requirements. Vote with your feet rather than moan and looking at such bizarre solutions as parsing pdfs etc. I have huge amount of transactions through my current accounts - at least 7 pages worth a month as I do everything electronically - laser/credit card etc and i had to fiddle around with pdfs i'd go mad!
