[jonchui]

Thanks for putting this together!

on my mac, used http://macappstore.org/pdftotext/, to convert pdf to text, but when i ran through to convert to csv, i got an empty one via the

python /code/GitHub/stock-gain-tax-import/process-schwab-2017.py 1099\ -\ charles\ schwab.txt > 1099\ -\ charles\ schwab.csv

command

Thanks for trying my software. I just installed pdftotext with Homebrew. That should have installed the version you are using. You can check like this:

pdftotext -v
pdftotext version 3.03

I used that version and still got the same result (different copyright symbol in the text file but same output from my Python script). Are you sure that you called pdftotext like this:

pdftotext -layout "1099 - charles schwab.pdf"
