What is PDF Expert?

Picture
EdShelf Review
PDF Expert is a PDF annotation tool that also allows users to manage files of different types.
At the basic level it is intuitive and simple to use, but it also has many extra features that could make this app useful for working with older students and as a productivity tool for teachers.
This tool has potential to help reduce paper usage in classrooms as sometimes it might be suitable for students to complete a worksheet online without the need for printing. The sharing options allow opportunities for older students to give and receive feedback about their work, potentially improving their learning outcomes.
