exam_creator

A tool that automatically creates "exam" sheets from a random set of exercises (from tutorial sheets). This is useful for practising random exercises for a real exam.

Setup

• Install all python modules listed in the main.py file.
• Install poppler and tesseract. Change the filepaths in main.py:
  • Add the poppler filepath to make_pngs at poppler_path=
  • Check that the tesseract.exe path is correct in tesseract_cmd
• Add your exercise sheet pdfs into a folder sheets_pdf.
  • Check the naming pattern. The code assumes Assignment x.pdf as pattern. If yours is different, change it in make_pngs() under path=

Run

• (optional) run make_pngs() with all your sheets to create all possible exercise pngs (this will make future create_exam() calls faster).
• call create_exam() with the number of problems and the title. Your finished pdf will be saved under exams/. Done:)
