I'm a professor and require students to submit typed homework as either docx or pdf format - a student wrote their paper in Word, took a screenshot of it (including their desktop), then saved the screenshot in pdf format.

Yeah I know that one but in this case it was pretty clear it wasn’t plagiarized.

Please tell me that you at least showed the student that you can save a word doc as a pdf.
