If a teacher gives you a pdf document in an assignment, you can use DocHub to edit the pdf (make changes to it) and then submit it as completed.

Teachers, make sure that when you upload the pdf you select “make a copy for each student” to assure that they aren’t all editing the original document.

After accessing Google Classroom and the assignment, click on the pdf that the teacher has uploaded.

From the drop-down menu above the document select “DocHub-PDF Sign and Edit.”

If you do not have DocHub in your drop-down list, click “Connect more apps” and search for DocHub to add the extension.
