How to do PDF to formula sheet in Duetoday (step-by-step)
Create your Duetoday account: Sign in to the dashboard to access your personal study workspace.
Upload your source PDF: Click the upload button and select the textbook, lab manual, or lecture slides containing the math or logic you need.
Set the extraction scope: Use the page range selector if you only need formulas from specific chapters, like Calculus II or Macroeconomics.
Select 'Study Guide' or 'Formula Sheet': Direct the AI to focus specifically on extracting mathematical notations, variables, and constants.
Refine the output format: Within the editor, you can rename headings to match your syllabus for easier navigation.
Split into logical chapters: If your PDF covers multiple subjects, use the split feature to keep your Physics formulas separate from Chemistry.
Review variables and definitions: Ensure the AI has correctly identified what each symbol (e.g., 'ρ' for density) represents.
Add custom constraints: Use the AI chat to ask, Add the units for each of these formulas, to make the sheet more comprehensive.
Organize by difficulty: Group foundational equations at the top and complex derivations at the bottom for better flow.
Finalize the layout: Choose a clean, bulleted format that is easy to scan at a glance.
Preview your sheet: Check the generated content against your original PDF to ensure no subscripts or superscripts were missed.
Save and Export: Click save to keep the formula sheet in your Duetoday library for mobile access or export it to your preferred format.
What you can generate from your PDF
Formula Sheets: Organized lists of equations, variables, and units.
Definitions: Key terms and theorems that explain the logic behind the formulas.
AI Tutor Chat: Ask the AI to explain how to derive a specific formula from your sheet.
Practice Problems: Generate quizzes based on the formulas to test your application skills.

Mini example: Organic Chemistry Equations
Input: A 15-page PDF chapter on Reaction Kinetics and Thermodynamics including Gibbs free energy and rate laws.
Output Formula Sheet:
Gibbs Free Energy: ΔG = ΔH – TΔS (Where H is enthalpy, T is temp, S is entropy).
Arrhenius Equation: k = Ae^(-Ea/RT) (Used for temperature dependence of reaction rates).
First Order Rate Law: ln[A] = -kt + ln[A]₀ (Relates concentration and time).
Equilibrium Constant: K = [Products] / [Reactants] (At chemical equilibrium).
Van 't Hoff Equation: ln(K₂/K₁) = -ΔH/R * (1/T₂ - 1/T₁)
Tips to get higher-quality results
Check PDF Clarity: Ensure your PDF isn't overly blurry. Clearer text lead to more accurate symbol recognition in complex math.
Remove Fluff: If your PDF has many intro pages or images, specify the page range to focus only on the core technical content.
Add Context: Use the AI chat to tell Duetoday your skill level (e.g., I am a freshman) to get simpler explanations for each formula.
Use Clean Naming: Name your chapters clearly within Duetoday so you can find specific formula sets later in the semester.
Troubleshooting
Scanned PDF issues: If characters look weird, try using a digital version of the textbook or a higher-resolution scan.
Too much text: If the AI is giving you too many paragraphs, use the prompt: Summarize this into a bulleted list of formulas only.
Missing symbols: If a specific symbol like 'θ' is missed, manually edit the sheet or ask the AI to Include all Greek symbols from page 5.
Wrong Difficulty: If the explanations are too simple, change your settings to 'Graduate level' to get more detailed derivations.
