Can you extract the Question of pathology according to system

Reading File
I'll extract pathology questions from all 5 PDFs and organize them by system. Let me process all files in parallel.
Running Command

python3 << 'EOF' import pdfplumber import os base = "/home/daytona/workspace/attachments/41d9b23c-58d6-4923-b4df-0a710b771a9f/" files = [ "prelims paper (1).pdf", "PDU prelims 2025.pdf", "2nd year Uni exam Fab 2024.pdf", "22 Batch Prelims 2nd Year.pdf", "University 2nd Year 2024.pdf" ] for fname in files: fpath = base + fname print(f"\n{'='*80}") print(f"FILE: {fname}") print('='*80) try: with pdfplumber.open(fpath) as pdf: for i, page in enumerate(pdf.pages): text = page.extract_text() if text: print(f"\n--- Page {i+1} ---") print(text) except Exception as e: print(f"ERROR: {e}") EOF

The PDFs appear to be image-based (scanned). Let me try OCR extraction.

All tools are available. Now I'll run OCR on all 5 PDFs using pytesseract.
Running Command

python3 << 'EOF' from pdf2image import convert_from_path import pytesseract import os base = "/home/daytona/workspace/attachments/41d9b23c-58d6-4923-b4df-0a710b771a9f/" files = [ "prelims paper (1).pdf", "PDU prelims 2025.pdf", "2nd year Uni exam Fab 2024.pdf", "22 Batch Prelims 2nd Year.pdf", "University 2nd Year 2024.pdf" ] out_dir = "/home/daytona/workspace/pdf_ocr/" os.makedirs(out_dir, exist_ok=True) for fname in files: fpath = base + fname safe_name = fname.replace(" ", "_").replace("(", "").replace(")", "").replace(".pdf", "") out_txt = out_dir + safe_name + ".txt" print(f"\nProcessing: {fname} ...") try: images = convert_from_path(fpath, dpi=200) print(f" Pages: {len(images)}") all_text = [] for i, img in enumerate(images): text = pytesseract.image_to_string(img) all_text.append(f"--- Page {i+1} ---\n{text}") combined = "\n".join(all_text) with open(out_txt, "w") as f: f.write(combined) print(f" Saved to {out_txt}") print(f" Preview (first 400 chars):\n{combined[:400]}") except Exception as e: print(f" ERROR: {e}") print("\nAll PDFs processed.") EOF

I can see "prelims paper (1).pdf" is a Pathology paper. The others appear to be Pharmacology papers. Let me read the full texts to confirm and extract pathology questions.

Now I have a clear picture. The file "prelims paper (1).pdf" is a combined PDF containing multiple subjects including Pathology (Pages 1-2), Microbiology (pages later), and Pharmacology. Let me also check the other files more carefully and then run a comprehensive extraction script.
Running Command

python3 << 'EOF' # Read all OCR text files and print subjects found import os out_dir = "/home/daytona/workspace/pdf_ocr/" files = [ "prelims_paper_1.txt", "PDU_prelims_2025.txt", "2nd_year_Uni_exam_Fab_2024.txt", "22_Batch_Prelims_2nd_Year.txt", "University_2nd_Year_2024.txt" ] for fname in files: fpath = out_dir + fname with open(fpath) as f: content = f.read() # Print first 1500 chars to identify subject print(f"\n{'='*60}") print(f"FILE: {fname}") print(f"TOTAL LENGTH: {len(content)}") print(f"FIRST 1500 CHARS:") print(content[:1500]) EOF

Now I understand the structure. The "prelims paper (1).pdf" is the main one with Pathology. It's a combined paper with multiple subjects. The "22 Batch Prelims" is unreadable. Let me read the full prelims paper 1 to extract all pathology questions, and also check the other PDUs for pathology content.
Running Command

python3 << 'EOF' # Read full prelims_paper_1.txt - this has Pathology with open("/home/daytona/workspace/pdf_ocr/prelims_paper_1.txt") as f: content = f.read() print(content) EOF

I now have all the content needed. The "prelims paper (1).pdf" contains:
  • Pages 1-2: Pathology Paper I (Shantabaa Medical College, Amreli) - General Pathology + Clinical Pathology
  • Pages 3-4: Pathology Paper II - Systemic Pathology + Haematology
  • Pages 5-8: Microbiology papers
  • Pages 9-12: Pharmacology papers
The other PDFs (PDU prelims, 2nd year Uni exam, University 2nd Year 2024) are all Pharmacology. The "22 Batch Prelims" PDF appears to be unreadable scanned images.
Now I'll compile all pathology questions organized by system and create a formatted Word document.

Here is a full breakdown of all Pathology questions extracted and organized by system, drawn from the 5 PDFs you provided.

Source note: Only prelims paper (1).pdf contained Pathology questions (Shantabaa Medical College, Amreli - 2nd Year MBBS Prelim 2025). It contains Paper I (General Pathology + Clinical Pathology) and Paper II (Systemic Pathology + Haematology). The other four PDFs (PDU Prelims 2025, 2nd Year Uni Feb 2024, University 2nd Year Dec 2024) are Pharmacology papers, and the 22 Batch Prelims PDF was unreadable (blank scanned pages with no extractable text).
