search for key words in pdf

[KatherineAnder1]

i am new to canvas and online learning. the course work for my class is in pdf form. our quizzes are open "book". How do i use canvas to search for my key words in order to answer the questions? thanks

My suggestion is that you read the entire PDF. Just searching for key words to answer questions is a really lazy way to study. 

The more you invest in your learning, the more you will learn.

IN addition to what @SusanNiemeyer mentioned, you can teach yourself how to do what you want by using an internet search on how to find things in a pdf file.

By the way, I remember when the city schools here decided to give every student a chrome book so that they could all have pdf versions of their text books.  The son of someone I know was doing his homework and his mom asked what he was doing - the response "Just searching for the answer in the pdf - I don't want to read the rest of it".  I understand that philosophy and it is something I would have probably done as well.  However, you may be short changing your education and learning techniques.
