Make sure that your exam pages are in the correct order and are oriented properly (not upside down or rotated!). Use Word to generate the file so that your final document is generated in standard page size, US letter or 8.5 x 11″. If you don’t submit a standard page size file it may not fit in the Canvas grading window and your exam won’t be graded! Beware!

On a Mac, go to the “File” menu and select “Reduce File Size…”. In Windows, select a picture, and then select format picture and compress. Make sure that the pdf file size is less than 20 MB.
