Embedding Fillable PDFs

Hi!  Has anyone embedded fillable PDFs as assignments?  We are hoping to add them as a link a student would click on to take them directly to the PDF.  Currently, I haven't found a way and was hoping someone might have tried this!  Thanks!

Hi Julianne,

Yes, you can include a fillable PDF in Buzz by adding it as a Website link within an assignment or lesson. This allows students to click the link and open the PDF directly.

That said, Buzz doesn’t currently support filling out and submitting PDFs within the platform itself. If you need students to complete and turn in the document, the best approach is to have them fill it out externally and then upload it back using a file submission assignment.

If you’re looking for a more seamless experience, you might consider converting the PDF into a Buzz assessment, Google Form, or using an LTI tool that supports interactive documents.

Thank you for this suggestion!  I am finding that any changes made to the PDF linked are then visible to everyone.  I assume this is a settings issue on my end, so I'll look into it more closely.
