Moodle Help FAQ

—I need help with uploading my PDF assignment.

File picker dialog box. File Loading Spinning

If, when uploading a PDF file to your Moodle assignment, you have experienced issues with the file never loading, your PDF may need to be compressed/optimized for the web. Here are just a few different methods to repair your PDF so it can be uploaded to your Moodle assignment

  1. Use Adobe Acrobat Pro to optimize your PDF. 
  2. Use MacOS Preview to reduce your PDF file size. 
  3. If you don't have access to one of these programs, you can use the Compress a PDF website for FREE. 

If you don't want to keep having this issue with your PDF files, consider how you originally created them, as that is likely what is causing them not to load.
