Project Title: PDF File Copier

This simple Python script takes a zip folder of submissions from Moodle and returns all the submissions with meaningful filenames. A batch of submissions from students with arbitrary filenames will be extracted from the zip folder and returned in a coherent format:

FirstName1 MiddleName1 LastName1 Assignment.pdf
FirstName2 MiddleName2 LastName2 Assignment.pdf
...

Installation

Option a) Download repository.

Option b) Copy main.py file to a folder with the structure

root/
├── main.py
├── input/
└── output/

Usage

1. download all submissions from moodle as a zip-file (using the Alle Abgaben Herunterladen-button).
2. place the zip-file in the input folder
3. run the following command in the terminal from the root-folder

python main.py

or

python main.py --append " AssignmentTitle"

The PDF files will be copied to the output folder.

Limitations

• The script assumes that the submission of every student is a single pdf file.
• If moodle changes the structure of the zip-file, the script will no longer work.

Requirements

• Python 3.x
