Process that converts PDF pages to images is too slow #273

The process that converts PDF pages to images is too slow when you are uploading a PDF with 100+ pages. In our environment this usually results in a timeout. This should be handled in a background task either in a new ad_hoc one or in the same scheduled task where the evaluation is proceeded.

I think it is pretty common for teachers to upload exams in that format and in that amount so this use case should be properly handled.

Hi,

we totally agree. Offlinequiz version 4.5 will cover this and also give more feedback about the progress of the evaluation.
