Interacting with Content

Interacting with content your teacher has assigned is simple with built-in tools to interact with and complete the activity. These tools include:

  • Text-to-speech: read the whole page aloud or highlight portions of text to have it read aloud.
  • Annotations: underline, highlight, add text, and other freehand tools enable you to add markup to the PDF. Markup is specific to you and will save for future use. These options are found in the tool bar directly above the PDF.
  • Zoom In/Out: resize any document with the – and + buttons in the tool bar.
  • Download/Print Options: These options are accessible in the hamburger menu in the upper left portion of the tool bar. Select Print and save as a PDF to preserve any markup within the document. Select Download to download a clean source file with no markup. PDFs also contain fillable fields to support offline usage.
  • Search: a search feature in the upper right portion of the tool bar allows you to search within the document.
