Adobe : Keeping school papers organized is as easy as A-B-C with Adobe Acrobat online

Keeping school papers organized is as easy as A-B-C with Adobe Acrobat online

Whether your kids are just starting pre-K or finishing up high school, the deluge of school paperwork - from finger-painting keepsakes to report cards - is enough to make a mess of any household. Especially when kids and parents share a workspace at home, keeping your space free of paper clutter is important for productivity and sanity.

You could fill dozens of file folders with school memories and memorabilia dating back to your child's days as a first-grader. Or you could save space and keep it all in a digital filing system with Adobe Acrobat online tools and the Adobe Scan app. And getting your files organized will be faster than trying to remember how to do long division - so you can have more time to help your kiddos with their math homework.

Chronicle art projects from every school year

While every piece of your kids' artwork feels priceless, the sheer amount may make you want to throw out more than you save. The Adobe Scan app is the solution. Use your smartphone camera to capture macaroni art in its pristine state, before the ravages of time turn it into a gross crumbly mess.

Retire your label maker. And add your child's name, the date, and any additional information to the file name of your scan - so you can quickly find anything by searching your simple system of organized PDFs. Whether it's time to scrapbook or just take a walk down memory lane, Adobe's cloud storage keeps years of art or documents on hand. Plus, you can access it from any device or browser with an Adobe login.

Capture and keep school photos too

Don't let a single adorable or angsty school picture get lost in the shuffle. Instead of cluttering your office space with shoeboxes full of photos, use Adobe Scan to collect and store school photos digitally. They'll be easy to find and print out again for photo books. You can easily pull up the files to add to your family newsletter or order them on customized coffee mugs to remind you of your kids during the workday.

Keep yourself - and your kids - organized

There's one universal truth about each grade your child goes through: There's a lot of paperwork. From schoolwork like essays, assignments, and worksheets to report cards and notes from teachers, organizing kids' school papers is easy with free PDF tools.

Use the Merge PDF tool to combine important sheets from each class into one file. Ensure every page is in the right order with the Reorder PDF tool that lets you reorganize any document. Even insert new pages and delete extras. You can access everything from Adobe Document Cloud, so your kid can never claim the dog ate their homework.

Sign and send school forms of all kinds

Bring some sanity to back-to-school paperwork with Adobe Fill and Sign tools. Each year brings school registrations, college applications, athletic and after-school program forms, medical information, and field trip permission slips. Bypass printing by using electronic signatures to quickly sign and submit all your kids' paperwork. Even better, you'll have copies on hand in an easy-to-search digital file box for forms that need to be submitted again next year.

Collaborate with teachers and parents

Communicating with teachers and fellow parents for activities, parties, and clubs can be tough to juggle on top of your daily grind. Sharing PDFs is a simple way to work together and streamline communication, regardless of everyone's busy schedules. Add comments or sticky notes to documents to track changes and collect all feedback quickly and easily.

Do it all securely

Have peace of mind around every form and personal detail you share with password-protected PDFs. Ensure only the proper parties can access private information like addresses and social security numbers in your child's school papers. Saving time is only worth it if you can do it safely, and Adobe makes that possible.

Don't find yourself at the end of the year going through piles of forms and assignments, wondering which special papers you need to save for the next grade. Organize kids' school papers with Adobe tools to declutter your life and make each year a little easier.
