Create a quiz from an indexed PDF
Upload a course PDF to a Stiida study space and allow it to finish processing before using it as a quiz source. Indexing makes the document’s readable text available to study tools; scanned PDFs may require optical character recognition and can take longer.
Once the PDF is ready, select it as the source for a practice test. You can use available topic controls and question settings to focus on a chapter or concept rather than manually writing every prompt.
Keep practice tied to the document
Questions generated from a selected PDF are intended to help you check understanding of its content. Use the source context and your original pages to verify details, especially for technical terms, equations, tables, or material where a small distinction changes the meaning.
The quality of a quiz depends on what the PDF contains and how well its text can be read. If a page is blurry, image-only, or missing from the source, correct the document or select clearer materials before relying on its generated questions.
From reading to review
A practical workflow is to read a section, generate a small set of questions, answer without looking, and revisit the pages connected to uncertain responses. Repeat with another section when you are ready to broaden your review.
Use the quiz as a complement to the course—not as a substitute for assigned readings, instructor explanations, or official assessment guidance. You can also use the same indexed PDF to create flashcards or ask the study tutor about a difficult passage.
Frequently asked questions
Does the PDF need to be indexed first?
Yes. Upload the PDF to a study space and wait until processing is complete before selecting it.
Can I focus on one chapter?
Use the available topic selection to focus generation on a subject found in the indexed PDF.
Can I make flashcards instead?
Yes. Select the same indexed material in the flashcard generator workflow.
