Dear Altruists

Currently, I am working as an LMS coordinator with a vocational institute. Our trainers asked for a facility to allow students to write their assignment in an Editable PDF opened within the Canvas. 

 At present, our student downloads a document, complete it then upload it again into Canvas; of course, this is not the best practice.

Thank you so much for your kind patience. Any help appreciated.

Hello there, @aumurad ...

In Canvas, you can integrate either (or both) the Google Apps or the Office 365 LTI external tools.  Both of these tools then allow both instructors and student to connect their own Google or Office accounts and submit work.  There are ways that, as an instructor, you can share a file with students, they can work on the file in an "online" capacity (without having to download), and then they can submit it back to the instructor.  Here are a couple "how to" Guides on how this all works:

Do you think that one of these options might meet your needs?
