I'm a college freshman, and for my final project, I've decided to build a website that converts PDFs into quizzes. I'm hoping this will help students like me prepare for exams. However, I've been having a hard time finding tutorials on how to actually code this. Is there a way I can learn how to do this without heavily relying on AI? I've seen a lot of 'PDF to quiz converter' tools online, but I want to understand the coding aspect myself. Any advice for someone at my skill level?

You might want to reconsider the idea of automating the conversion from PDF to quiz. Parsing PDFs and creating quiz questions from them is quite complex and usually requires AI. As a freshman, your project probably shouldn’t need you to develop something that advanced. Focus on what your teacher actually wants: is it to create a functional quiz app, or just to learn how to code a basic interactive website? Start simple and gradually build up your project as you learn more.
Thank you for the advice! I didn't realize it's actually so complicated. I just wanted to create a free PDF-to-quiz tool for my exams since the other options out there are too pricey for a student like me.
