By week three of the semester, the materials start stacking up - lecture decks, shared notes, scanned chapters, and the occasional last-minute reading. You’re juggling them all, but finding time actually to remember what’s inside? That’s the tricky part.

Highlighting can feel productive, but it doesn’t always help when it’s time to recall details for a quiz or exam. That’s why PDF Copilot— built right into PDF Expert is here to help you study smarter, faster, and in the flow.

Instead of jumping between tabs or apps, you can turn your PDFs into clean, editable study materials without ever leaving your document. Whether you need to Generate Quiz questions or a set of flashcards, Copilot handles the busywork so you can focus on learning.

Meet the study tool that gets you

Flashcards and quizzes are one of the most effective ways to make information stick — but building them from scratch is slow, especially when your notes are spread across multiple files.

PDF Copilot takes the heavy lifting off your plate. Test it yourself through activating the trial or take advantage of the limited-time offer (50% off for students and educators) to unlock Copilot’s full functionality. It scans your document, pulls out the key terms, definitions, and concepts, and turns them into ready-to-review question-and-answer cards. You’re still in control — you can tweak the wording, add details, or rearrange them — but the most challenging part is already done.

Because it all happens inside PDF Expert, there’s no app-switching or browser-tab shuffle. Just open, generate, edit, and review.

Why Flashcards and Quizzes work better together

Flashcards are perfect for active recall — one question, one answer, repeat until it sticks. They help you memorize definitions, formulas, or key concepts fast.
Quizzes take it further. When you use Generate Quiz in PDF Copilot, you’ll get a set of multiple-choice questions, each with hidden answers you can reveal as you go. It’s a quick and easy way to check your understanding, identify areas where you might need some extra studying, and prep for the real thing.

Both tools complement each other perfectly, working right on top of your existing course materials - no copying, pasting, or reformatting needed.

Note: PDF Copilot accelerates prep, but your judgment is the final mile. Always scan the extracted content with a critical eye. Keep what helps, refine what doesn’t, and lean on your instructor’s guidance. The goal isn’t to replace your study-it’s to amplify it.

Smarter study habits worth trying

Everyone learns differently. Experiment to find what sticks - and stack techniques that complement each other.

• Pomodoro sessions- work in 25-minute focus blocks with short breaks. Use Copilot to knock out a set of cards per session.
  
• Active recall- test yourself early and often. Quizzes + flashcards make this painless.
• Music association- pair tough topics with a favorite playlist. Returning to the same tracks can prime recall.
  
• Study + movement- walk or stretch while listening to a podcast or YouTube tutorials; movement boosts alertness.
  
• The Feynman technique involves explaining a concept in simple words as if you’re teaching a friend; if you get stuck, turn that gap into a new card.
  
• YouTube lectures & podcasts - when a chapter won’t click, a different voice can help. Convert insights to cards right after watching or listening.
  
• Study buddy system- accountability helps. Quiz each other using Copilot sets.(And if you’re looking for one, join our Study Buddy Giveaway- you and a friend can win a 1-year PDF Expert Premium.)
  
• Study journal or tracker- log what you learned, what’s fuzzy, and what’s next.(We’ve got ready-to-use templates for students and educators to make tracking effortless.)

Mix, match, and iterate. Copilot adapts to the way you like to learn.
