The PDF Exam Import function can take Exams presented in a PDF format and import them into the System's Exam Module. Once the PDF is received, we will parse the PDF. While images, sound files and video do not automatically link to the Exam questions during the import process, you CAN manually link these files to the specific Exam questions after the import and within the Exam Editor.
Formats vary greatly, so you must select the correct options when you are exporting the Exam out of ExamSoft.
- Export the Faculty view of the exam as a RTF document
- Then convert the RTF doc it to a PDF. NOTE: Be sure to do this step outside of Examsoft.
Path: Courses > [Select] Course > Import > Upload Import Data
NOTE: If the PDF file has not been previously uploaded, then use the Import > Upload Import Data function first before proceeding.
