Code hosted on GitHub at Question-Extractor

Usage Instructions

• Make sure that you have installed everything in requirements.txt. Please set-up poppler using these instructions

• Run code.py (please prefer using an IDE over terminal here as windows terminal was sometimes not taking Ctrl+C while code was running)

• Tkinter window will open.

First you will have to choose saving location for generated pictures.

Then you'll get to select file. Both .png and .pdf are accepted.

Main image is under Current Question on which operations below are going to be performed.

Commands

While Not Merging

1. Skip.

   • To skip Current Question

2. Save

   • To save Current Question

3. Start Merge

   • When you see the Next Question should be merged with Current Question start merge.

While Not Merging

Update - Now that you can manually set Q No. you can use 3rd command for both 3 and 4 and then change numbers manually, in case it's unclear when to use 3 and 4, use 3 and adjust.

1. Skip While Merging.

   • To skip Current Question but continue merging, Current Merge remains same.

2. Save End Merge

   • To save Current Question and end Current Merge. Closely related to 5.

3. Merge Same

   • When you want to merge Current Question to Current Merge but not change Q No.. Like suppose there is a paragraph from q1-4 and before q1 there is paragraph statement. So when paragraph statement is Current Question then you'll Start Merge and when q1 is Current Question then you will use this command to merge statement and q1.

4. Merge Next

   • Continuing last example, after you have used Start Merge and Merge Same, your Current Merge is comprised of statement-q1. Now when q2 is Current Question, use this command to merge q2 with Current Merge and increase Q No.

5. Skip End Merging.

   • To skip Current Question and save Current Merge. In the pervious example, after you have merged statement-q1-q2-q3-q4 and next image has to be skipped, use this.

Q Inc and Q Dec

In case you need to change Q No. (note that it's the next question number to be saved), you can use Q Inc to increase and Q Dec to decrease. Make sure that when you are saving multiple merged questions, Q No. is the last question number of the merged qns.

Note

• I know that While Not Merging command appears a bit complicated but after 2-3 uses you will be comfortable

• Last <x> just keeps track of last button pressed.

• pdf2image is a bit slow, suggest me new libraries.

• Make sure the program successfully terminates in-case you close the Tkinter window in between. It's kinda wack.
