regents-extractor v0.9.2

NY Regents Extractor

Extracts multiple choice questions from NY State Regents.

Currently, output is only regular strings however this can be changed, see Formatting.

Images are not supported and won't be extracted .

Install

npm install regents-extractor

Usage

const {Exam, Document, Page, Question, TextsCollection} = require('regents-extractor');

Exam accepts a string or a buffer for the PDF and an optional string for the answers. If the answer string is provided, there must be a \t (tab) between questions and answers and a \n (line break) between questions. For example:

    "1\t4\n" +
    "2\t3\n" +

Example

See the examples folder in the repo.

Note: You must download the example regents from the commented URL for the example to work.

Formatting

Currently, the TextsCollection class toString() method simply prints the string, however this can be changed. If you would like to detect super and subscripts you can be replacing the TextsCollection toString method with your own implementation. textCollection.objs contains PDFJS objects with x, y, height, width, font size, etc. information.

I may add some simple HTML output soon, but probably not.
