KovaPDF for Finance & Accounting

A day in finance

Where month-end loses its hours

Four everyday jobs, and how they go in KovaPDF.

  1. 08:40Expenses

    Forty receipts, in four formats, for one expense report.

    The problem

    Photos taken at an angle, PDFs from email, a HEIC from someone's phone. The report has to be one file, in date order.

    What you do in KovaPDF

    Turn the photos into PDF pages and make faint ones clearer with Enhance Scan. Merge everything and drag the pages into date order. Add page numbers so you can point to receipt 17.

  2. 10:30Reconciliation

    The bank statement is a scan, and the numbers belong in a spreadsheet.

    The problem

    Typing figures from a picture is slow. One wrong digit means hunting for it later.

    What you do in KovaPDF

    Run OCR PDF so the scan has real text. Then PDF to Excel puts the table into rows and columns. Check the totals against the statement and carry on.

  3. 14:15Invoicing

    Before sending, you spot an old rate and a wrong PO number.

    The problem

    Making the billing system create the invoice again takes longer than the fix.

    What you do in KovaPDF

    Change the figure in the PDF editor. It uses the invoice's own font, and the old number is removed, not covered. Find & replace fixes the PO number on every page.

  4. 17:20Year-end

    The accounts need a director's sign-off and a safe way to the client.

    The problem

    Big attachments bounce. And a pack with salaries and bank details should never travel unlocked.

    What you do in KovaPDF

    Merge the pack, compress it for email and add a password. Turn off printing or copying if you like. Directors sign with Request Signatures. Keep the final copy as PDF/A.

Statements

From a scanned statement to a spreadsheet.

Your work starts when the numbers are in a sheet. Make the scan searchable, then pull its tables into Excel and check them. No retyping.

  • OCR in nine languages, including Spanish, Portuguese and Arabic
  • Tables come out as rows and columns you can sort and add up
  • Excel to PDF fits wide sheets on the page
  • Word, Excel and PowerPoint convert both ways
Convert PDF to Excel
Sending

Small enough to send. Locked before it goes.

An accounts pack can hold salaries, account numbers and tax IDs. Make it light enough for any inbox, add a password, and choose if the reader can print, copy or edit.

  • Compress to a level, or to an exact size for an upload form
  • AES-256 password protection
  • Turn printing, copying and editing on or off
  • Remove what the reader doesn't need, for good, with Redact

Confidentiality

Numbers are private. Here's how we treat them.

Bank details, payroll and tax IDs. This is what happens to them in KovaPDF.

Sent over a secure connection

Your files travel to and from us encrypted (TLS).

Deleted after processing

When a tool runs on our server, we keep the file only while we work on it. Then we delete it.

Signing files have an end date

Files in a signature request are deleted 30 days after the request ends. Download your signed copy before then.

Some tools never upload

24 tools, like Merge, Split and Protect, work only in your browser. The file stays on your device.

Redaction really removes

What you black out is deleted from the file. Nobody can copy it or find it by searching.

Two-step sign-in

Anyone can turn it on. On Business, an admin can make it a must for everyone.

To be clear: the PDF editor and most converters run on our servers, so your file is uploaded when you save. We process it in memory and then delete it. This is not end-to-end encryption. If you need that, use the tools that work in your browser.

Questions

Questions accountants ask us

Can I get a table from a PDF into Excel?

Yes. PDF to Excel turns the tables in a PDF into rows and columns. If the PDF is a scan, run OCR PDF on it first. Always check the totals against the original.

Can I fix a figure in a PDF invoice?

Yes, in the PDF editor. Click the line and type. The new figure uses the font already on the page, and the old one is removed, not covered with a white box. Use it on your own documents before you send them.

How do I email a large accounts pack?

Compress PDF makes it smaller, at a level you choose or to an exact size. If it's still too big, Split PDF breaks it into parts.

How do I protect a PDF with financial details?

Protect PDF adds an AES-256 password. You choose if readers can print, copy or edit. Send the password separately from the file. If the reader doesn't need some details at all, remove them with Redact first.

Can directors sign off the accounts online?

Yes. Request Signatures sends each director a private link, in order if you like. Everyone gets the signed PDF with a certificate of completion. If a certificate signature is required, use Digital Signature with your own certificate.

Which languages can it read in scans?

Nine, including English, Spanish, Portuguese, Arabic, Russian and Chinese. It can also detect the language for you.

Less retyping.More time to check the numbers.
