PDF to Form Converter

Hi HN, A friend and I hacked this together to turn PDFs, docs and raw text into an easy-to-fill online form. The hardest part was getting the prompts to work reliably. We're using PDF.js to parse the document, asking OpenAI to extract the questions and calling the Fillout API to create the form. Let me know what you think: https://fillout.com/ai-form-builder (free to use + no sign up needed)

PDF to Form Converter launched on July 20, 2023 with 6 votes, #1,837 of 4,347 launches that month and more than 50% of that year's launches. The site was still online in September 2026, 3 years on.

    As a former student I created PDFToQuiz to solve I problem I had in college, how could I be sure I knew and understood all the material in the notes if I couldn't test myself. That's why I built PDFToQuiz, it helps students test thier knowledge on their own notes.

    I saw this [0] pretty cool thread by user revskill, and wanted a quicker way to search through it, but also to keep them all in one place so I can read them at my leisure whenever I get time. Right now is like 60 lines of Ruby using Nokogiri, but I will certainly look into it further down the line and improve the list. There's a cronjob checking the thread every 12 hours but I will eventually shut that down and it will become static after that. There are some really awesome blogs in there. I really recommend going through the list, it made my day. [0] "Could you share your personal blog…
