For Students
PDF tools for students
Coursework means a constant stream of PDFs — assigned readings, scanned lecture slides, your own handwritten notes. EditPDF AI's AI tools are built to cut that down to something usable fast: get a summary of a long reading before class, turn a chapter into practice quiz questions, or run a photographed page of notes through OCR so it becomes searchable, selectable text.
A typical workflow
A typical session might start with a scanned reading that needs OCR before it's searchable, then a quick chat with the resulting PDF to find the argument in a specific section, and end with a set of practice questions generated from the same material before an exam — three separate tools working on one document, no separate accounts or software for each step.
