Configure Assignment to only accept PDFs for Annotated Feedback

If you have an assignment for which you want to accept PDF submissions, click **"Settings."**

Make sure **"File submissions"** is selected as a submission type. Then choose the limits for the files that can be uploaded. In this case, we will accept a maximum of **2 files that can't be larger than 500 kb**. You can choose higher settings if you think the documents they are uploading will be larger.

Next, we want to **limit the types of files that can be uploaded**. In this case, we **only want to allow PDFs** so we can use the *"Annotated PDF"* marking feature. **Click the "Choose" button** beside the accepted file types field.

Expand the Document files choices. You will see the specific choices for the document files.

**Toggle on "PDF document"** and **toggle off \ "Document files."** This will limit submissions to PDF only. Be sure to **"Save changes.**"

Next, we move on to **"Feedback types"** and choose **"Feedback comments" and "Annotate PDF."** This way, a PDF can be annotated with marks that can be highlighted, etc., and you can also type in any additional comments. *We won't need inline comments turned on, as the text in PDFs cannot be pulled into the feedback field like it can with Word documents*.

Be sure to set the other submission settings to your specifications.

Once all the settings are set, click **"Save and display.**"
