How Teachers Use PDF Shuttle
Auto-Generate Assessments
The AI Question Generator creates quiz questions directly from your teaching materials. Upload a chapter PDF and choose question types: multiple-choice, true/false, short answer, or essay prompts. Adjust difficulty from basic recall to critical thinking. Export as PDF for printing or CSV for your LMS (Canvas, Moodle, Google Classroom).
Summarize Long Readings
Assign a 40-page article but need a study guide for it? The AI PDF Summarizer produces structured summaries with page references. Share the summary alongside the reading so students know what to focus on.
Prepare Classroom Handouts
- Extract PDF Pages pulls specific pages from a textbook for handouts.
- Merge PDF combines your lesson plan, worksheets, and reading material into one file.
- Compress PDF shrinks files for easy distribution via email or LMS.
- Delete PDF Pages removes answer keys before distributing problem sets.
Translate Materials
Working with multilingual students? Translate PDF converts materials into 50+ languages while preserving formatting.
Weekly Teacher Workflow Example
Monday: Upload this week's textbook chapter → Generate 15 practice questions → Export to Canvas.
Wednesday: Merge lesson slides, activity sheet, and homework into one PDF → Compress to under 5 MB → Upload to Google Classroom.
Friday: Summarize the week's readings → Create a study guide for next week's quiz.
Privacy for Student Data
When working with student-related documents, privacy matters. PDF Shuttle's compression, merging, and page tools run entirely in your browser — nothing is uploaded. AI tools use encrypted connections and delete files immediately after processing.
No Budget Required
School budgets are tight. PDF Shuttle is completely free — no per-seat licenses, no institutional plans, no hidden fees. Share it with colleagues and the entire department can benefit.
