A collection of some classic Lemmy memes for your enjoyment
My daughter is in online school. When she submits assignments, the uploader gives the option to upload as PDF, but I always have her do docx because I don't trust her teachers to be computer literate to do anything but open up Microsoft Word files in terms of grading. I wouldn't trust them to know how to do PDF markup.
I'm just glad LibreOffice can save in docx format.
If you don't even trust the teacher to be able to open a PDF, I'd probably be more concerned about them opening the .docx file with Microsoft Office 97, or whichever archaic version they have always used on their PC, and ending up with a completely broken assignment.
Edit: Sorry I misread your comment, you talked about the process of digitally grading a PDF, I was thinking of the process of simply opening a PDF.
Not opening it, marking it up.
