MULTI-PAGE DOCUMENTS

When submitting an assignment to your child's tutor as a PDF please merge the pages into a SINGLE file before submitting to the tutor - please do not send each page as a separate document.

If you are using an app to create your PDF, it will have built-in functionality to allow you to do this.

Scanning devices may vary, so you should consult the manual for your scanner or multi-function device for instructions on how merge pages.

Alternatively, you can do this online on the following websites which will enable you to merge PDF documents;

ACCESS - SodaPDF Links to an external site.

ACCESS - iLovePDF Links to an external site.

Before submitting your assignment please make sure that it is less than 20MB in size. 

When the tutor has graded your assignments you will be notified via the channels that you specify in your Notification Preferences. 

You should discuss the best ways to submit assignments, depending on the subject area, with the tutor in your initial video call.
