Why convert OFX to PDF?
OFX is a structured data file (SGML or XML) holding raw transaction records - amounts, dates, payees, account numbers - with no page layout. PDF is a fixed-layout format. A finance app must interpret the data and render a readable report before it can be printed to PDF.

- OFX files contain sensitive financial data; prefer offline tools (GnuCash, Quicken) over unknown online converters.
