Case Study: a top university achieves faster grading and stronger data privacy with Foxit PDF Editor+

Top University cuts grading time and reduces support tickets with FOXiT

A prestigious institution referred to as a top university faced inefficiencies and data privacy risks in its digital classroom. Handling PDF assignment submissions in the Canvas learning management system required faculty to manually redact sensitive student information and correct formatting, taking significant time away from teaching. To address this, the university turned to FOXiT for its PDF Editor+ product and its AI-powered Smart Redact tool.

FOXiT implemented a solution that integrated its tools directly into the university's existing Canvas workflow. The Smart Redact feature automatically detected and removed personally identifiable information from PDFs. This change eliminated manual redaction tasks, reduced grading times, and ensured compliance with privacy standards. The results included significantly fewer IT support tickets, faster feedback for students, and a stronger institutional commitment to data security.
