Why Export?
Canvas may require you to first export the file to either a PDF or a .docx format.
How to Export
1. Select a document that you wish to download and open it.
2. Go to “File”, next click “Download as” and finally choose “PDF Document”.
3. The file should download into your Downloads or it will have an option to save into your desired folder.
4. Find the file in the folders and open up your PDF to make sure it will successfully open.
NOTE: You can also export your documents to Microsoft Word (docx.) by following the steps listed above. Just select Microsoft Word (docx.) instead of the PDF option.
