How to Create a Quiz From a PDF

Written and fact-checked by The EditPDF AI Team

Instead of writing practice questions by hand, you can generate a quiz directly from a PDF's content — useful for teachers building revision material or students testing their own recall. Every question is editable before you use it.

Step-by-step: create a quiz from a PDF

  1. 1Open editpdfai.com/quiz-creator and upload your study material, textbook chapter, or notes.
  2. 2Choose the number of questions — 5, 10, 15, or 20 — and a difficulty level.
  3. 3AI reads the extracted content and generates multiple-choice, true/false, or short-answer questions.
  4. 4Take the quiz interactively, or download the questions as a PDF or CSV file for a classroom or LMS.

Review before you use it

Questions are generated from your document's own text, and every question and answer is editable before you download or take the quiz.

Check the answer key

As with any generative AI, review answers for accuracy before relying on them — especially for graded material or exams.
