In addition to the features documented here, version~2.0 adds a number of features, some of which were suggested by Tahir Y. These additional features are documented in \hyperref[prt:Two]{Part~\ref*{prt:Two}} on page~\pageref{prt:Two} of this manual. \section{Introduction} This package is an add-on to the \env{quiz} environment of the \pkg{exerquiz} package. \paragraph*{Purpose.} This package adds PIN security to a quiz created by the \env{quiz} environment. To correct a quiz, the document consumer must press the \uif{Correct} button of a quiz and successfully enter the correct PIN number. For example, \usePINCorrBtn \begin{quiz*}{qz1} Solve each, passing is 100\%.\hfill\llap{\smash{\parbox[t]{145pt}{\leavevmode\llap{\color{red}\ding{042}\enspace}Take the quiz, when finished, press the \uif{Correct} button and enter the PIN number to correct the quiz.}}} \begin{questions} \item The sum of 1 and 1 is \dots \begin{answers}{8} \bChoices \Ans0 0\eAns \Ans0 1\eAns \Ans1 2\eAns \Ans0 3\eAns \Ans0 4\eAns \eChoices \end{answers} \item $ \cos(\pi) = \RespBoxMath{-1}{1}{.0001}{[0,1]}\cgBdry[1bp] \CorrAnsButton{-1} $ \item $\displaystyle\frac{d}{dx}{\sin(x)}=\RespBoxMath{cos(x)}{4}{.0001}{[0,1]}\cgBdry[1bp] \CorrAnsButton{cos(x)} $ \end{questions} \end{quiz*}\quad\ScoreField[\rectW{2.25in}]\currQuiz\olBdry\CorrButton{\currQuiz} (PIN: \numPINId)\vcgBdry[6pt] Answers: \AnswerField\currQuiz\vcgBdry[6pt] This package is designed for the educational sector, for instructors who use the quizzes from the \pkg{exerquiz} package to assess the understanding their students of the course material. \paragraph*{PDF Viewers.} Discussion of PDF viewers for the document author and the document consumer. \begin{aebQuote} \begin{description} \item[\textbf{Instructor:}] Any PDF viewer may be used as a PDF \emph{previewer}, \app{sumatraPDF}, for instance. To verify the newly created quiz is functioning correctly, \app{Adobe Reader DC} (\FmtMP{\app{AR}}\app{AR}) or \app{Acrobat DC} (\FmtMP{\app{AA}}\app{AA}) \emph{must be used}. \item[\textbf{Document consumers (students):}] The \pkg{exerquiz} and \pkg{eq-pin2tocorr} extensively use JavaScript to perform many background tasks. For the student to have any success in this workflow, he/she must use \app{Adobe Reader DC}(\FmtMP{\app{AR}}\app{AR}). \end{description} \end{aebQuote} \paragraph*{Workflow.} The package is designed for the following workflow:\begingroup\tightsettings \begin{enumerate} \item The instructor creates\FmtMP{create quiz} the quiz using the \pkg{exerquiz} and \pkg{eq-pin2corr} packages. \item The instructor delivers\FmtMP{deliver quiz} the ``PDF quiz'' to each student. (System drive or email) \item The student takes\FmtMP{take quiz} the quiz. The student can press the \uif{Correct} but, unless s/he knows the PIN, the quiz is not marked up. \item The student saves\FmtMP{save quiz} the PDF quiz in \app{Adobe Reader DC}. \item The student returns\FmtMP{return quiz} the PDF to the instructor. (System drive or email) \item The instructor opens the returned PDF quiz in AA/AR and presses\FmtMP{correct quiz} the \uif{Correct} button to mark up the quiz. The instructor \emph{saves the quiz}. The instructor records the grade of the student. \item The instructor returns\FmtMP{returns quiz} the PDF, at some point, to the student. \item Both instructor and student happily\FmtMP{happy people} go on with their lives. \end{enumerate} The implementation details are left to the instructor. \endgroup \paragraph*{Document creation.} Any of the PDF creators current to the {\LaTeX} world can be used: (1) \app{pdflatex}, (2) \app{lualatex}, (3) \app{xelatex}, and my old friend, (4) \app{dvips}/\app{Distiller} (or \app{dvips}/\app{ps2pdf}). In the latter case (4), \app{Acrobat} is required to import Document JavaScripts. \section{The preamble} The minimal preamble for documents that use the \pkg{eq-pin2corr} package. \bVerb\def\1{\rlap{\hskip150pt\%\textsf{ or some other class}}}% \def\2{\rlap{\hskip150pt\%\textsf{ recommended but not required}}}% \begin{Verbatim}[xleftmargin=\amtIndent,fontsize=\small,commandchars=!()] !1\documentclass{article} !2\usepackage[!ameta(options)]{web} \usepackage[!ameta(options)]{exerquiz}!textbf([2021/04/27]) \usepackage[!ameta(options)]{eq-pin2corr} ... \declPINId{!ameta(pin-num)}{!ameta(hash-string)} \classPINVar{!ameta(class-pin-var)} ... \begin{document} \end{Verbatim} \eVerb A recent version of \pkg{exerquiz} (2021/05/29 or later) is required; \pkg{eq-pin2corr} brings in the \pkg{eq-save} package (2021/04/27 or later). \section{Package options} There are two options for this package: \opt{showscore} and \opt{!showscore}. If you took the test on page~3, you will have noticed that when \uif{End Quiz} control is pressed the phrase \textsf{"Success! Now save and send to the instructor"} appears in the \cs{ScoreField} or the \cs{PointsField}, this is the default behavior. Passing \FmtMP{\opt{showscore}}\opt{showscore} in the optional argument list of \pkg{eq-key2corr} causes the actual score to appear in the same box (eg, \texttt{Score: 2 out of 3}), which is historically what always appears in these boxes. The other option \FmtMP{\opt{!showscore}}\opt{!showscore} is a convenience option to aid in switching from one option to the other without too much cut and paste. The default definition of the text string that appears is, \begin{Verbatim}[xleftmargin=\amtIndent,fontsize=\small] \flJSStr[noquotes]{\SaveAndSendMsg}{Success! % Now save and send to the instructor} \end{Verbatim} Refer to the \texttt{eformsman.pdf} for a discussion of \cs{flJSStr}. \paragraph*{Local controls.} The two options can be turned off and on locally with \FmtMP{\cs{showScoreOff}}\cs{showScoreOff} and \FmtMP{\cs{showScoreOn}}\cs{showScoreOn} commands. \section{Setting the pin-hash values}\label{s:pin-hash} In the preamble, as indicated above, are two commands, the first is required, the second is optional. \bVerb\takeMeasure{\string\declPINId\darg{\ameta{pin-num}}\darg{\ameta{hash-string}}}% %\setlength{\dimen0}{\wd\webtempboxi+2\fboxsep+2\fboxrule}% %\def\1{\rlap{\sffamily\hskip\linewidth(\cs{numPINId} expands to \ameta{pin-num})}} \def\2{\rlap{\sffamily\hskip\linewidth(optional)}} \begin{dCmd}[commandchars=!()]{\bxSize} \declPINId{!ameta(pin-num)}{!ameta(hash-string)} \numPINId !2\classPINVar{!ameta(class-pin-var)} \end{dCmd} \eVerb It is through the \cs{declPINId} command that the PIN security is set up. The command \cs{numPINId} expands to \ameta{pin-num} is not normally typeset into the document, but is used for documentation or demonstration purposes, such as in this document. \paragraph*{\cs{declPINId\darg{\ameta{pin-num}}\darg{\ameta{hash-string}}}} The \ameta{pin-num} is a number, perhaps four digits, that is used to pass through the security of the \uif{Correct} button.\footnote{The \ameta{pin-num} does not have to be a number, it can be any password (passcode) that is easy to remember. I prefer a four digit number.} Once you decide on the PIN number, you need to generate the corresponding \emph{hash-string}. The hash-string is obtained from the demo file \texttt{get-hash-string.pdf}, the contents of that file is reproduced below. \begin{aebQuote} \pushButton[\CA{Push}\AAmouseup{\btnAct}]{btn}{}{11bp}\olBdry \textField[\textSize{8}]{txt}{2in}{11bp}\olBdry \pushButton[\CA{Reset}\AAmouseup{this.resetForm();}]{reset}{}{11bp} \end{aebQuote} Press the button labeled \uif{Push} and enter your PIN number into the dialog box (enter, for example, \texttt{\numPINId}), then press \uif{OK}, the corresponding hash-string appears in the text field, \texttt{\hashPINId}. Copy the PIN number (\texttt{\numPINId}) into the first argument of \cs{declPINId} and copy the hash-string (\texttt{\hashPINId}) from the text field into the second argument, like so, \begin{Verbatim}[xleftmargin=\amtIndent,commandchars=!()] \declPINId{!numPINId}{!hashPINId} \end{Verbatim} The above is placed in the preamble of the document. When the user enters a PIN number (right or wrong), it is converted to a hash-string and compared with the hash string of the correct PIN number; if they match, then the quiz is corrected. It is important to note that the PIN number \emph{does not appear anywhere} in the document, so it cannot be discovered. Knowledge of the correct hash-string does not help. Of course both PIN number and hash string appear in the source file of the document. \paragraph*{\cs{classPINVar\darg{\ameta{class-pin-var}}}} From the instructor's viewpoint, it takes a lot of effort to enter the PIN number for every quiz that is submitted (it may be in the hundreds). There is a way of avoiding the requirement of entering the PIN number, and that is through the use of the \cs{classPINVar} command. This method will work if you have \app{Adobe Acrobat} or if you only have \app{Adobe Reader DC}. The steps for doing this are as follows: \begin{enumerate} \item Decide on a class PIN variable name, it can be a generic one, or one specialize to your class, for example, \cs{classPINVar\darg{Calc2Sprg21}}, then declare it in the preamble: \begin{Verbatim}[xleftmargin=\amtIndent] \classPINVar{Calc2Spr21} \end{Verbatim} The value of the argument must be a valid JavaScript name. \item Go to the user config.js file of AA/AR and edit that file by including the following line in it, \begin{Verbatim}[xleftmargin=\amtIndent,commandchars=!()] var Calc2Spr21 = "!hashPINId"; \end{Verbatim} where the hash string used here is the same one corresponding to the PIN number for the document (\texttt{\numPINId} in our example). \end{enumerate} \app{AA/AR} only reads \texttt{config.js} one time when it opens, so \texttt{Calc2Spr21} will not be known until the next time \app{AA/AR} is opened. The location of the \texttt{config.js} file is described in general in the file \texttt{\href{install_jsfiles.pdf}{install\_jsfiles.pdf}}, found in the \texttt{doc} folder of this distribution. Once the above line is placed in the \texttt{config.js} file, the instructor does not enter the PIN number, pressing \uif{Correct} immediately corrects the quiz. \section{Turning the PIN security feature on and off} The security PIN feature can be turned on and off through the following two commands. \bVerb\takeMeasure{\string\restoreCorrBtn}% \def\1{\leavevmode\rlap{\sffamily\hskip\linewidth(Turn on PIN security)}}% \def\2{\leavevmode\rlap{\sffamily\hskip\linewidth(Turn off PIN security)}}% \begin{dCmd}[commandchars=!()]{\bxSize} !1\usePINCorrBtn !2\restoreCorrBtn \end{dCmd} \eVerb These can placed anywhere outside a \env{quiz} environment. The commands take effect beginning at the next quiz in the document. \part{Version 2.0}\label{prt:Two} \section{Introduction} Version~2 of this package provides additional security options for the document author (instructor or professor). \newtopic\noindent The source files (TEX) for the working examples in this part of the manual may be found on the {\AcroTeX} Blog web site: \begin{itemize} \item \href{http://www.acrotex.net/blog/?p=1516}{\pkg{eq-pin2corr}: PIN security with warning and freezing}\footnote {\url{http://www.acrotex.net/blog/?p=1516}} \item \href{http://www.acrotex.net/blog/?p=1519}{\protect\pkg{eq-pin2corr}: PIN security on \protect\uif{Begin Quiz} and tracking retakes of a quiz}\footnote {\url{http://www.acrotex.net/blog/?p=1519}} \end{itemize} \section{Security with warn and freeze on \tops{\protect\uif}{}{End Quiz}} When the student presses the \uif{End Quiz} control, an alert dialog box opens which warns\FmtMP{warn and freeze} the user that quiz will be `frozen' which means active form fields are made readonly, except for the \uif{Ans} button. The user has a choice of responding \uif{Yes} or \uif{No}, in the later case, the student can continue with the quiz. If the student presses \uif{Yes}, the quiz is frozen, all the student can do is to save the file and to send it to the instructor. \bVerb\takeMeasure{\uif{Click 'Yes' to end the quiz or 'No' to continue working on the quiz.}\}}% \settowidth{\eflength}{\cs{useWarnEndQuiz}} \def\1{\leavevmode\rlap{\hspace{\eflength} \%\sffamily{ use with \cs{usePINCorrBtn}}}}% \def\2{\leavevmode\rlap{\sffamily\hskip\linewidth(Turn off PIN security)}}% \begin{dCmd}[commandchars=!()]{\bxSize} !1\useWarnEndQuiz \restoreEndQuiz \flJSStr{\EndQuizG@te@Msg}{!uif(Warning:) !uif(Are you sure you want to end this quiz?)\r\r !uif(The quiz will be frozen and no more changes will be allowed.) !uif(Click 'Yes' to end the quiz or 'No' to continue working on the quiz.)} \end{dCmd} \eVerb Expand \cs{useWarnEndQuiz} prior to the quiz for which the `warn and freeze' security is to be employed. After the quiz, optionally expand \cs{restoreEndQuiz} to its original definition. \useWarnEndQuiz \newtopic\noindent Prior to the following quiz, \cs{usePINCorrBtn}\cs{useWarnEndQuiz} are expanded. \begin{quiz*}{qz2} Solve each, passing is 100\%. \begin{questions} \item The sum of 1 and 1 is \dots \begin{answers}{8} \bChoices \Ans0 0\eAns \Ans0 1\eAns \Ans1 2\eAns \Ans0 3\eAns \Ans0 4\eAns \eChoices \end{answers} \item $ \cos(\pi) = \RespBoxMath{-1}{1}{.0001}{[0,1]}\cgBdry[1bp] \CorrAnsButton{-1} $ \item $\displaystyle\frac{d}{dx}{\sin(x)}=\RespBoxMath{cos(x)}{4}{.0001}{[0,1]}\cgBdry[1bp] \CorrAnsButton{cos(x)} $ \end{questions} \end{quiz*}\quad\ScoreField[\rectW{2.25in}]\currQuiz\olBdry\CorrButton{\currQuiz} (PIN: \numPINId) \noindent Answers: \AnswerField\currQuiz \section{PIN security with freeze on \tops{\protect\uif}{}{Correct}} In the previous section, the quiz is made readonly (frozen) when the student presses the \uif{End Quiz} control. We can also freeze the quiz when the \uif{Correct} control is pressed. This strategy allows the student to take and retake the quiz if the score is not to his liking; assuming the \texttt{showscore} option is in effect. Freezing the quiz on the \uif{Correct} control allows the quiz to be marked up and returned to the student, without fear the student will later modify his answers and complain to the teacher that the score is incorrect. \newtopic\noindent To freeze the quiz when the \uif{Correct} control is pressed, expand \cs{FreezeThisQuiz}. \bVerb\takeMeasure{\string\FreezeThisQuizNot}% \def\1{\rlap{\sffamily\hskip\linewidth(use with \cs{usePINCorrBtn})}} \begin{dCmd}[commandchars=!()]{\bxSize} !1\FreezeThisQuiz \FreezeThisQuizNot \end{dCmd} \eVerb There are two methods of expanding \cs{FreezeThisQuiz}: (1) expand prior to the quiz (and expand \cs{FreezeThisQuizNot} following the quiz); or (2) pass \cs{FreezeThisQuiz} through the optional argument of the \cs{CorrButton} (the \uif{Correct} control) using the syntax \verb|\CorrButton[\cmd{\FreezeThisQuiz}]{\currQuiz}|. The latter method make the change local, hence \cs{FreezeThisQuizNot} is not needed following the quiz. \showScoreOn \restoreEndQuiz \newtopic\noindent The following quiz uses \verb|\CorrButton[\cmd{\FreezeThisQuiz}]{\currQuiz}| at the end of the quiz. Prior to this quiz, \cs{showScoreOn} and \cs{restoreEndQuiz} are expanded, the later to recover from `warn and freeze' of the previous quiz. \begin{quiz*}{qz3} Solve each, passing is 100\%. \begin{questions} \item The sum of 1 and 1 is \dots \begin{answers}{8} \bChoices \Ans0 0\eAns \Ans0 1\eAns \Ans1 2\eAns \Ans0 3\eAns \Ans0 4\eAns \eChoices \end{answers} \item $ \cos(\pi) = \RespBoxMath{-1}{1}{.0001}{[0,1]}\cgBdry[1bp] \CorrAnsButton{-1} $ \item $\displaystyle\frac{d}{dx}{\sin(x)}=\RespBoxMath{cos(x)}{4}{.0001}{[0,1]}\cgBdry[1bp] \CorrAnsButton{cos(x)} $ \end{questions} \end{quiz*}\quad\ScoreField[\rectW{2.25in}]\currQuiz\olBdry\CorrButton[\cmd{\FreezeThisQuiz}]{\currQuiz} (PIN: \numPINId) \noindent Answers: \AnswerField\currQuiz \section{Tallying the number of retakes of a quiz} One problem with digital PDF quizzes (\`a la Acro\negthinspace\TeX) is a student takes and retakes a quiz until a desired score of 100\% is attained, assuming no PIN security is on the \uif{Correct} control. This problem is partially mitigated by the PIN security on the \uif{Correct} control, but still, teachers, when administering an exam for credit, do not like to see student retaking the quiz multiple times. The \pkg{eq-pin2corr} package now offers the following commands: \bVerb\takeMeasure{\string\qzResetTally[\ameta{options}]}% \def\1{\rlap{\sffamily\hskip\linewidth(optionally, use with \cs{usePINCorrBtn})}} \begin{dCmd}[commandchars=!()]{\bxSize} !1\useBeginQuizCnt \restorBeginQuiz \qzResetTally[!ameta(options)] \end{dCmd} \eVerb Expanding \cs{useBeginQuizCnt} modifies the action of the \uif{Begin Quiz} control to count the number of times the student as retaken the same quiz. The count show up in the readonly text field created by \cs{qzResetTally}. Restore the original action of the \uif{Begin Quiz} control by expanding \cs{restorBeginQuiz}. This next quiz has PIN security with freeze on the \uif{Correct} control. The \uif{Begin Quiz} controls tracks the number of times the student \emph{re-takes the quiz}. Prior to the quiz we expand \cs{showScoreOn}\cs{useBeginQuizPIN}\cs{useBeginQuizCnt}. The \cs{qzResetTally} field is place to the right of the \cs{CorrButton} command. Speaking of the \cs{CorrButton}, \verb|\cmd{\FreezeThisQuiz}| is passed to this command through its optional argument so that the quiz is frozen when the instructor presses the \uif{Correct} control and successfully enters the PIN. \showScoreOn \useBeginQuizPIN \useBeginQuizCnt %\restorBeginQuiz \begin{quiz*}{qz4} \textbf{Instructions:} Take and retake this quiz until you obtain 100\%. \begin{questions} \item The sum of 1 and 1 is \dots \begin{answers}{8} \bChoices \Ans0 0\eAns \Ans0 1\eAns \Ans1 2\eAns \Ans0 3\eAns \Ans0 4\eAns \eChoices \end{answers} \item $ \cos(\pi) = \RespBoxMath{-1}{1}{.0001}{[0,1]}\cgBdry[1bp] \CorrAnsButton{-1} $ \item $\displaystyle\frac{d}{dx}{\sin(x)}=\RespBoxMath{cos(x)}{4}{.0001}{[0,1]}\cgBdry[1bp] \CorrAnsButton{cos(x)} $ \end{questions} \end{quiz*}\quad\ScoreField[\rectW{2.25in}]\currQuiz\olBdry\CorrButton[\cmd{\FreezeThisQuiz}]{\currQuiz} (PIN: \numPINId)\hfill\qzResetTally \noindent Answers: \AnswerField\currQuiz \section{Setting the maximum number of retakes} This quiz has PIN security on the \uif{Correct} control. The \uif{Begin Quiz} controls tracks the number of times the student \emph{re-takes the quiz}. It also sets the maximum number of times the student retake the quiz. \bVerb\takeMeasure{\string\setMaxRetakes\darg{\ameta{qz-name}\darg{\ameta{num}}}}% \def\1{\rlap{\sffamily\hskip\linewidth(use with \cs{usePINCorrBtn})}} \begin{dCmd}[commandchars=!()]{\bxSize} \setMaxRetakes{!ameta(qz-name)}{!ameta(num)} \nMaxRetakes{!ameta(qz-name)} \end{dCmd} \eVerb When declared prior to the quiz whose name is \ameta{qz-name}, \cs{setMaxRetakes} sets the maximum of times a student can \emph{retake the same quiz} to \ameta{num}, where \ameta{num} is a nonnegative integer. Declaring \cs{setMaxRetakes\darg{\ameta{qz-name}}\darg{0}} means the student may only take the quiz once (no retakes allowed); \cs{setMaxRetakes\darg{\ameta{qz-name}}\darg{2}} means he can retake the quiz twice (for a total of three times). The command \cs{nMaxRetakes\darg{\ameta{qz-name}}} is a way of typesetting the number \ameta{num} into the document as part of the instructions for the quiz, for example. \showScoreOn \useBeginQuizCnt \setMaxRetakes{qz5}{2} \newtopic\noindent The following quiz has PIN security with freeze under the \uif{Correct} control and it allows the student to retake the quiz at most \nMaxRetakes{qz5}~times. \begin{quiz*}{qz5} Solve each, passing is 100\%.

The PIN under the \uif{Begin Quiz} control is (usually) different from the PIN under the \uif{Correct} button. \bVerb\takeMeasure{\string\flJSStr\darg{\string\BeginQuizG@te@Msgii}\{\uif{Press the Begin Quiz}}% %\def\1{\rlap{\sffamily\hskip\linewidth(\cs{numRePINId} expands to \ameta{pin-num})}} \begin{dCmd}[commandchars=!()]{\bxSize} \declRePINId{!ameta(pin-num)}{!ameta(hash-string)} \numRePINId \flJSStr{\BeginQuizG@te@Msgi}{!uif(Enter the PIN number) !uif(to retake this quiz)} \flJSStr{\BeginQuizG@te@Msgii}{!uif(Press the Begin Quiz) !uif(control to begin the quiz again)} \end{dCmd} \eVerb \cs{declRePINId} is used to declare the PIN number for retaking the quiz, as well as the corresponding hash string.

These may be redefined as desired. \newtopic\noindent The PIN for the \uif{Begin Quiz} button is \numRePINId. The \uif{Begin Quiz} button does not need a PIN for the first time it is pressed. It requires a PIN after the first press. \showScoreOn \useBeginQuizPIN \begin{quiz*}{qz6} Solve each, passing is 100\%. \begin{questions} \item The sum of 1 and 1 is \dots \begin{answers}{8} \bChoices \Ans0 0\eAns \Ans0 1\eAns \Ans1 2\eAns \Ans0 3\eAns \Ans0 4\eAns \eChoices \end{answers} \item $ \cos(\pi) = \RespBoxMath{-1}{1}{.0001}{[0,1]}\cgBdry[1bp] \CorrAnsButton{-1} $ \item $\displaystyle\frac{d}{dx}{\sin(x)}=\RespBoxMath{cos(x)}{4}{.0001}{[0,1]}\cgBdry[1bp] \CorrAnsButton{cos(x)} $ \end{questions} \end{quiz*}\quad\ScoreField[\rectW{2.25in}]\currQuiz\olBdry\CorrButton{\currQuiz} (PIN: \numPINId)\hfill\qzResetTally \noindent Answers: \AnswerField\currQuiz\vcgBdry[6pt] This kind of security is best when the students are taking a quiz in a computer lab with a proctor in the room.
