Is it possible to embed a fillable PDF to Canvas, one that students could answer within Canvas and submit?
This is a fairly old question seems to be unanswered. Disappointing.
I too am looking for a way to embed a fillable PDF. My students have Chromebooks. Any fillable PDFs are turned to non-fillable. This is same when I embed a fillable PDF in the HTML Editor...following the wonderful help from another post. But it is not fillable. Can we get an answer to this please and thank you!
I have the same question. Right now students have to fill out documents and scan them to upload for exams. When scanning their assignments the corporate system emails them to their account automatically. This poses a security risk for future exams if they don't hand in all their work AND delete all their emails. Forget the students that fill out fillable pdf's on their computer and save them, I have no control or visibility over that. Being able to have forms in Canvas that they can fill out will prevent a LOT of these security concerns.
