How to generate a quiz from a PDF document automatically?

March 14, 2026 Martin Laune

Finals are coming up, and you're staring at a mountain of PDFs: lecture slides, endless Biology notes, reading assignments... The mere thought of re-reading everything to make flashcards is exhausting.

What if you could hand that PDF over to a smart assistant, and it instantly prepared a custom assessment to test your knowledge?

That's exactly what the PDF extraction feature on Ace My Quiz does. No more tedious copy-pasting. Here's how to generate your quiz in 3 super-simple steps.

1Step 1: Upload your course document

Go to the creation page and select the 'PDF Document' tab. Just drag and drop your file (even dozens of pages!). The tool is 100% secure: your notes are never used to train public AI models, and they are deleted from our servers as soon as you delete the quiz.

2Step 2: Let the AI work its magic

This is where Artificial Intelligence shines. In seconds, it scans the document, identifies key concepts, important dates, and crucial vocabulary. It then writes relevant questions without ever inventing information outside your course (our famous 'Strict Mode').

  • Quick MCQ: Perfect for checking dates or exact definitions.
  • Fill-in-the-blanks: Ideal for memorizing vocabulary and text structure.
  • Theoretical Mode (Open question): The ultimate mode. Write your answer freely, and the AI will grade it benevolently.
