Powerpoint uploading as a PDF

[pas5571]

I uploaded a powerpoint to canvas and a professor said that it was appearing as a PDF. Does anyone know why that would be and how to resolve it?

Hello  @pas5571 ‌, I believe when a professor views a PowerPoint within Canvas, such as in the SpeedGrader, it appears as a PDF.  They have to download it to see it as a powerpoint.

Obviously there is the chance that you uploaded it as a PDF but guessing since you are asking the question you are, that you already made sure it was a .ppt or .pptx file that you uploaded.
