splitser-to-csv

Simple python script to generate CSVs based on Splitser settlement PDFs.

This program uses PyPdf to read out the PDF files generated by Splitser/WieBetaaltWat, and convert them to CSV. This project will generate two files:

1. balance.csv, with balances of the participants
2. expenses.csv, with all expenses made in the settlement.
