PDF

Merges attachments into one PDF

Turns multiple student image files into one document that’s easy to grade.

HEIC

Supports iPhone HEIC/HEIF

Handles HEIC/HEIF (plus JPG/JPEG/PNG) so you don’t open files one-by-one.

🔒

Runs locally (no manual uploads)

Generates the PDF on your device. No external server processing.

How it works

Simple workflow for instructors and TAs.

1

Open a submission

Go to a Brightspace submission page where attachments are visible.

2

Open the extension

It scans for Brightspace attachment items and collects download links.

3

Create PDF

A builder tab converts images (including HEIC) and assembles the PDF.

4

Save

Your combined PDF downloads through the browser’s normal flow.

Chrome Web Store link: will be added after publishing.
Troubleshooting (0 attachments)

Brightspace sometimes renders attachment menus after the page is visible. Hard refresh (Ctrl+Shift+R), scroll a bit so attachments load, then open the extension again. If it shows files from a different submission, go to the next submission using the top-right arrow, then come back and reopen the extension to force Brightspace to refresh the attachment list.
