Teaching is a PDF job in disguise. Lesson plans, worksheets, exemplars, parent newsletters, IEP documentation, marking rubrics — every week is a stack of files that need to be assembled, redacted, signed, and shared. PDFWix is built for that workload, with every tool free and most running entirely in the browser so student data never leaves your laptop.

Building handouts and packets. Drop your exercise PDFs into Merge PDF, drag them into the order you want students to work through, and run Add page numbers so 'turn to page 7' actually means something. For a multi-week unit, Organize PDF lets you visually group sections by week with a drag-and-drop interface.

Sharing student work as exemplars. When you want to show one class what an A-grade essay looks like, you have to redact the student's name first. Redact PDF strips the name from the file at the data layer — copy-paste won't recover it, unlike a black box drawn on top. Same flow for sharing IEP exemplars in PD sessions.

Answer keys and draft policies. Use Watermark to stamp 'ANSWER KEY — DO NOT DISTRIBUTE' across every page of a marking guide. If a colleague asks for the worksheet but not the answers, Extract Pages pulls just the questions into a clean PDF.

Sending home and signing. Compress PDF gets the parent newsletter under any school-district email cap. Sign PDF handles permission slips, field-trip waivers, and IEP signatures — works on any device, including the iPad you grade on.
