Last Updated: April 13, 2026
This comprehensive guide shows you how to transform PDF, DOCX, TXT, and PPT documents into professional quizzes using Assessful AI's advanced RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) technology and smart OCR capabilities.
What You'll Need
- A document file (PDF, DOCX, TXT, or PPTX)
- Internet connection
- Web browser (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, or Edge)
- Optional: Assessful AI account for saving quizzes
Step-by-Step Guide
Step 1: Upload Your Document
Navigate to Assessful AI Quiz Generator and upload your document:
- Supported formats: PDF, DOCX, TXT, PPTX
- File size limits: 3MB (free tier), 5MB (Pro tier)
- Document types: Digital documents, scanned PDFs, images with text
💡 Tip: For scanned documents, use 300+ DPI quality for best OCR results. Assessful AI's smart OCR automatically detects text quality and chooses the optimal extraction method.
Step 2: Choose Scan Mode
Select the appropriate scan mode for your needs:
- Quick Scan: 2-3 seconds processing, extracts 20-50 topics, ideal for quick overviews and simple documents
- Comprehensive Scan: 8-10 seconds processing, extracts 100-400 topics, uses RAG technology for deep content analysis, best for detailed educational materials
💡 Tip: Use Comprehensive Scan for textbooks, research papers, and detailed study materials. Quick Scan works well for simple handouts and summaries.
Step 3: Configure Quiz Settings
Customize your quiz parameters:
- Number of questions: 1-30 (free tier), 1-60 (Pro monthly), 1-100 (Pro yearly)
- Difficulty level: Easy, Medium, or Hard
- Question types: Multiple choice, true/false, short answer, fill-in-the-blank, matching, essay
- Topic selection: Choose specific topics or use all extracted topics
💡 Tip: Start with fewer questions and medium difficulty to test the quality. You can always generate another quiz with different settings from the same document.
Step 4: Generate Quiz with AI
Click the "Generate Quiz" button and wait for AI processing:
- Assessful AI uses RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) to analyze your document
- Questions are generated with full context from your document
- Each question references actual content, not generic knowledge
- Generation typically takes 10-15 seconds
⚠️ Important: Keep the browser tab open during processing. Closing the tab will stop generation and you'll need to start over.
Step 5: Review AI Confidence Scores
Assess question quality using AI confidence scores:
- 95-100% (High Confidence): Questions are accurate and ready to use
- 80-94% (Medium Confidence): Review recommended, minor edits may improve quality
- <80% (Low Confidence): Edit required, question may need significant revision
Edit questions directly in the interface before exporting.
💡 Tip: Low confidence scores often indicate ambiguous source content. Review the original document section and clarify the question manually.
Step 6: Export Your Quiz
Download your quiz in your preferred format:
- PDF: Printable format with answer key
- Google Forms: Automated script for instant import (no manual typing!)
- DOCX: Editable Microsoft Word format
- PPTX: PowerPoint presentation format
- JSON: Data format for custom integrations
💡 Tip: Google Forms export includes a ready-to-use Apps Script. Simply open Google Forms, go to Extensions > Apps Script, paste the code, and run to import all questions automatically.
