Change currentAmount accordingly.

Note that changing raw for -layout or no argument for pdftotext seems required.

NAME
       pdftotext - Portable Document Format (PDF) to text converter (version 3.03)

SYNOPSIS
       pdftotext [options] PDF-file [text-file]

DESCRIPTION
       Pdftotext converts Portable Document Format (PDF) files to plain text.

       Pdftotext  reads  the  PDF file, PDF-file, and writes a text file, text-file.  If text-file is not specified, pdftotext converts
       file.pdf to file.txt.  If text-file is ´-', the text is sent to stdout.  If PDF-file is ´-', it reads the PDF file from stdin.

OPTIONS
       -f number
              Specifies the first page to convert.

       -l number
              Specifies the last page to convert.

       -r number
              Specifies the resolution, in DPI.  The default is 72 DPI.

       -x number
              Specifies the x-coordinate of the crop area top left corner

       -y number
              Specifies the y-coordinate of the crop area top left corner

       -W number
              Specifies the width of crop area in pixels (default is 0)

       -H number
              Specifies the height of crop area in pixels (default is 0)

       -layout
              Maintain (as best as possible) the original physical layout of the text.   The  default  is  to  ´undo'  physical  layout
              (columns, hyphenation, etc.) and output the text in reading order.

       -fixed number
              Assume fixed-pitch (or tabular) text, with the specified character width (in points).  This forces physical layout mode.

       -raw   Keep  the  text in content stream order.  This is a hack which often "undoes" column formatting, etc.  Use of raw mode is
              no longer recommended.

       -nodiag
              Discard diagonal text (i.e., text that is not close to one of the 0, 90, 180, or 270 degree axes).  This  is  useful  for
              skipping watermarks drawn on body text.

       -htmlmeta
              Generate a simple HTML file, including the meta information.  This simply wraps the text in <pre> and </pre> and prepends
              the meta headers.

       -bbox  Generate an XHTML file containing bounding box information for each word in the file.

       -bbox-layout
              Generate an XHTML file containing bounding box information for each block, line, and word in the file.

       -tsv   Generate a TSV file containing the bounding box information for each block, line, and word in the file.

       -cropbox
              Use the crop box rather than the media box with -bbox and -bbox-layout.

       -colspacing number
              Specifies how much spacing we allow after a word before considering adjacent text to be a new column, measured as a frac‐
              tion of the font size. Current default is 0.7, old releases had a 0.3 default.

       -enc encoding-name
              Sets the encoding to use for text output. This defaults to "UTF-8".

       -listenc
              Lists the available encodings

       -eol unix | dos | mac
              Sets the end-of-line convention to use for text output.

       -nopgbrk
              Don't insert page breaks (form feed characters) between pages.

       -opw password
              Specify the owner password for the PDF file.  Providing this will bypass all security restrictions.

       -upw password
              Specify the user password for the PDF file.

       -q     Don't print any messages or errors.

       -v     Print copyright and version information.

       -h     Print usage information.  (-help and --help are equivalent.)

BUGS
       Some  PDF  files  contain fonts whose encodings have been mangled beyond recognition.  There is no way (short of OCR) to extract
       text from these files.

EXIT CODES
       The Xpdf tools use the following exit codes:

       0      No error.

       1      Error opening a PDF file.

       2      Error opening an output file.

       3      Error related to PDF permissions.

       99     Other error.

does not make debit and credit distinction clear.

pdftotext -layout 20240821.pdf -

looks promising.

However, I fear the layout to change silently. Could hardcode the number of spaces. Maybe can leverage number of spaces of column header.
