====== How do I put non-SpEd Forms files like PDFs into history? ======

You may want to include a non-SpEd Forms file in a student's history. For example, you may get an IEP from another state or a medical report from a Doctor that you would like included in a student's history.

You can upload any file, including PDF files, (<wrap em>Educators: up to 10Mb in size, Administrators: up to 20Mb</wrap>) to a student's history tab. You may need to have software on our computer that will make a PDF file, or the ability to scan a paper document into an electronic document like a PDF file. Here's how:


  - Use a copier or a scanner to create the electronic version of the document. Mac OS X computers can make PDF files right from the Print dialog. Windows computers may need PDF software installed that you can print to just like a printer. A popular (free) program is PDF995, but check to see if your district already has a preferred PDF software package.
  - Be sure to name the electronic document something meaningful to you, such as "Doctor's Report".
  - Navigate to the student's History tab.
  - Click the "Upload file" link and upload the file you created to history.
