QR codeThe PDF stays yours
It's parsed to draft your questions and kept as the source. It isn't shown to participants or shared beyond your workspace.
PDF to test
From PDF to quiz. The manual is already written.
Upload a PDF, whether a handbook, policy or manual, and TestSetGo drafts questions that cite the page they came from. Review each one and share in minutes.

How it works
PDF to shareable test in three steps
01Upload the PDF
Drop in the document, an induction handbook, a policy or a training deck exported to PDF, and TestSetGo reads the text you wrote.
02Review the drafts
Each question appears with the page and passage it was drawn from, so you can check it against the source and edit, replace or remove any of them.
03Share and track
Publish with a link, access code or QR code, and objective questions grade themselves as the dashboard shows who read the document closely.
Parsing you can trust
From pages to questions, with the receipts
The PDF is parsed page by page and every draft carries the passage behind it: “p. 12: …complete the pre-use checklist…”. Turning a 40-page manual into a test is a review job, not a proofreading marathon.
- Multi-page PDFs parsed into usable text
- Each draft cites its page and passage
- Verify a question against the source in seconds
Made for real documents
Handbooks, policies and training packs
The documents that most need a comprehension check are the dense ones nobody reads twice. Upload a safety manual, HR policy or compliance pack and get a test that confirms the important parts landed.
- Induction and site handbooks
- HR, safety and compliance policies
- Training packs and procedure documents
You own the output
Nothing from the PDF goes live unread
Generated questions are drafts. Edit the wording, fix a distractor, set points, add an explanation or delete anything that doesn't matter. The test that publishes is the one you approved, not whatever the parser produced.
- Edit, replace or remove any draft
- Add explanations and set points
- Approval required before publishing
About the PDF workflow
What happens to your document
Text-based PDFs work best
Documents with real, selectable text parse most cleanly. A scanned image with no text layer has nothing to read.
Paste works too
Paste the text directly or name a topic instead, and drafting works the same way.
Drafts in four question types
Drafts arrive as multiple choice, multiple response, true/false and short answer — you pick the mix or let it balance. Add the other five types, from numeric to ordering and matching, in the editor.
Explore question types →Then share and grade
Link, code or QR sharing, server-enforced timers and attempt limits, and a fair manual grading queue for written answers.
Test security →See what stuck
Per-question accuracy and common wrong answers show which parts of the document need re-reading, or rewriting.
Questions
Frequently asked questions
Is turning a PDF into a test free?
Yes, to start. Uploading a PDF and drafting questions is part of the builder, and the free plan covers 75 responses a month; paid plans from $19/mo add volume and team seats, priced by responses not features.
What kind of PDF works best?
PDFs with real, selectable text (exported documents, handbooks, policies and manuals) parse most cleanly. A scanned photo with no text layer gives the generator nothing to read, so a text-based file is best.
What happens to my document after I upload it?
It's parsed to draft your questions and kept alongside your test as the source you can check citations against. It isn't shown to participants or shared outside your workspace.
Do the questions really come from my PDF?
Yes. Drafting is grounded in the document you upload, and each question cites the page and passage so you can verify it, not the open web.
Can I edit the questions it creates from the PDF?
Fully. Every draft is editable (stem, options, correct answer, points and explanation), and you approve the set before it's published, so nothing goes live unread.
Can I upload something other than a PDF?
Yes. Paste text directly, give it a topic, or use a PowerPoint deck via the PowerPoint-to-test flow. The review-and-approve workflow is identical whichever you use.
