Is it possible to generate custom exams taken the student's names from a csv archive?

I'd like to generate a single PDF file containing multiple exams (template available below).



Each exam must have the field 'name' (see template) filled with the name of a student taken from a external list file (such as .csv).

          Sure, it's possible. I focus on the loop that reads data from a csv file and builds a multipage document. I do not, at this point, change your TikZ code, which can be simplified. Anyway, this reads the names from a file and prints the "exams".

            @LucasMartins Just add columns middle1, middle2 etc. and read them out with ReadOutElement{loadedtable}{X}{middle1}{tmpfmidone} etc. Page numbers can be reset e.g. with setcounter{page}{0}. I am not really online now, but if you continue having problems let me know, I will be online in a bit.

          Sure, it's possible. I focus on the loop that reads data from a csv file and builds a multipage document. I do not, at this point, change your TikZ code, which can be simplified. Anyway, this reads the names from a file and prints the "exams".

            @LucasMartins Just add columns middle1, middle2 etc. and read them out with ReadOutElement{loadedtable}{X}{middle1}{tmpfmidone} etc. Page numbers can be reset e.g. with setcounter{page}{0}. I am not really online now, but if you continue having problems let me know, I will be online in a bit.

            @LucasMartins I added a proposal to fix it. If the student has no middle name, put nan, if (s)he has several, put them in braces.

          Sure, it's possible. I focus on the loop that reads data from a csv file and builds a multipage document. I do not, at this point, change your TikZ code, which can be simplified. Anyway, this reads the names from a file and prints the "exams".
