This feature is available only with SMART Response for Mac computers.
When you import questions from a PDF file, the SMART Response conversion utility interprets the
numbering of the paragraphs. The software also recognizes key words when parsing the paragraphs.
The software then converts the paragraphs into SMART Notebook assessment pages.
