# PDF Lessons

**The PDF Lesson** allows instructors to upload and display `.pdf` documents directly inside a lesson using a sleek and distraction-free interface. Students can read course materials without downloading files or leaving the lesson page. You can also require students to complete the PDF before they can move to the next lesson, helping ensure full engagement with the material.

## Overview of PDF Lesson
