Print a Canvas Course Syllabus to PDF

The Canvas Syllabus does not automatically create a Word or PDF file, although it is still possible to create a printable PDF from Canvas.

Here are a few reasons an individual may want to do this: 

  • Storing the Syllabus - departments need to retain syllabi for a period of time
  • Students may want to access the syllabus when working offline
  • Students may want to annotate a printed copy of the syllabus

Steps:

  1. Open Syllabus
  2. From the Syllabus page, Right-click on the Syllabus page.
  3. Select Print.
  4. Change the Destination to Save as PDF.
  5. Click on Save/Print button.
  6. When the additional window appears, select the folder where you want the file saved and name the file.

To find the PDF File, it will be located in the folder previously selected.
