Export editable documents
One of the zesje users shared a neat idea:
The way I made it is that I converted my original MS Word to legacy format, printed it as PDF, made Zesje from that PDF, and then the Zesje generated PDFs can be converted back to MS word format correctly, that the students can edit. When I tested this this word format, when saved as PDF it was perfectly recognized by Zesje, so it seemed like a good option for homework (for students who couldn't edit the PDFs directly).
While the procedure seems involved, I realize that we could easily provide students with unique editable exams by:
- Prefilling the student name and number (already exists in data generation script).
- Converting the PDF to images
- Making a word document file
🤢 which has all those images as background of each page, to ensure that the original layout isn't impacted.
This would also make #430 a lot more useful (and is probably blocked by it).
