The ultimate academic toolkit for students & educators (free PDF templates inside)

We took care of this academic year, so you can show up ready


The new academic year always comes with its own mix of excitement and “how am I going to keep up with all this?” energy. Your notebooks are fresh, your coffee order is dialed in, and your desk setup finally looks Pinterest-worthy. But then the reality hits: schedules, deadlines, group projects, grading, readings — all stacked into a calendar that somehow keeps filling itself.

That’s why we built something to make this year feel less like a scramble and more like a smooth start.

Meet the PDF Expert academic toolkit

The PDF Expert academic toolkit is a collection of free, editable templates you can open right in PDF Expert. No setup, no extra apps. Just the structure you need to plan your week, track deadlines, and make teaching or studying feel less like juggling fire.
Each template is clean, flexible, and designed to support how you already work — whether you're reviewing flashcards, grading assignments, or plotting the fastest way from lecture hall to lunch.
PDF Expert transforms static PDFs into smart, functional documents. You can annotate, highlight,edit, and sync across all your Apple devices — so you’re always up to date.
These templates don’t add more to your plate. They help you get ahead of what’s already there.
