PDF Imports

If the text you wish to use is only available in PDF format, please contact Mavs Open Press at oer@uta.edu. PDF is a static format that can pose technical difficulties for reuse. The OER team will help to convert the document into Pressbooks for you so you can focus on revising and customizing content to meet the needs of your students.
