Requirements for Creating PDFs

Scanner or Camera and PDF Software

You will submit all assignments for this course electronically. Your work for each lesson may need to be saved as a PDF in order to submit the assignment for grading. If you have multiple pages for a lesson assignment, those pages must be saved as one file before uploading.

There are several ways to save your completed lesson work as a PDF.

• Use the "Save as PDF" or "Export to PDF" command in your word processing software, if applicable.
  
  
• Use a PDF conversion website such as PDF Converter or your Google Drive account (see instructions at WikiHow.com).
  
  
• Use a scanner to scan your pages into a digital document. Some scanners will allow you to scan your pages and save them as a PDF. If you are not able to scan to a PDF, you will need to convert your scanned pages to PDF files. You can do a web search (e.g., Google) for “PDF creator online” to find software to convert your pages to PDF files. One of the most popular sites is PrimoPDF.
  
  
• If you have several PDF files for an assignment, you will need to merge those files into one large file before submitting the assignment for grading. Again, do a web search for “Merging PDF files” to find online software to complete this task. PDFMerge! is a good site for merging files. Another good resource is PDF Binder. You can find any of these tools by doing a web search for its name.
  
  
• You may take a photograph of each assignment page and combine them into a single PDF using a free online service such as Online2PDF. Photographs must be clear and legible. Be sure to rotate all your images to Portrait (vertical) orientation before creating the PDF.

IMPORTANT: TTU K-12 staff is only able to offer limited technical support for scanners, cameras, or PDF software. Please refer to the support documentation bundled with your particular device and/or seek direct support from its manufacturer. For PDF conversion questions, see the Help files for your software.
