As far as I know,PDF is not allowed because the documents in that format are not editable.Isn īt it possible to convert your PDF files into Word documents so you can share them with us?

Pdfs can be converted to MS word with little loss of quality if it mainly consists of texts. Software like Abbyy Fine Reader can do a great job. But, assuming that leaponover īs  Wss are made in MS publisher and converted to PDF, reconverting them to Word would be VERY tedious, so this is not a good option.

Yes mine are made with MS publisher and to convert them to word would be very difficult and would lose functionality.  I don īt think the trade-off of having PDF īs that you can īt edit is worth the loss of wonderful material.  Let the teachers decide if they want to download material that can īt be edited.  Don īt decide for us ESLprintables.

It īs worth looking again at the possibility of hosting pdf files. Word is capricious and unwieldy and not everyone has it or uses it. Most programs export to pdf and it īs stable and can be opened by almost everyone. Plus it keeps file size down MUCH better than converting to jpg and dropping in a Word file.
