Annotation can only take place on PDF files. While Moodle automatically attempts to convert submitted files to PDFs, there are occasions when this isn’t successful. Therefore, it is recommended that students submit PDF files. When setting up the assignment, in the Submission types setting, it is possible to restrict the file types that students can submit. Under accepted file types,select pdf file. See our guide on adding an individual assignment for more information.
