By adding a PDF to your Nearpod lesson, you can include your PDF, other media, and formative assessment, all in one student experience. Share papers, research, surveys, news articles, and other teaching files to your lesson.
You can decide to add your PDF as a complete document, or as individual slides, depending on what you want students to experience. This article will teach you how to do both

Teach with PDF Viewer
If you've added your PDF as a document, when students arrive at the slide with that document, they will be able to scroll through the PDF on their own devices.
