So this is why when I copypasted text it wouldn't be spellchecked. Took me a long time to realise, since the text I wrote with the add text function did get checked, so I assumed every textbox was checked regardless if I wrote them or pasted them. Well, thanks for the explanation!
Thank you for watching! I am hopeful that Adobe will offer a more comprehensive spell-check at some point because so many of us would like to check the whole PDF. 🙂
Hi, I have Acrobat Standard and have tried selecting the spellcheck for UK English, but it still only checks for US English. I tried getting help from Adobe support, but they said get a dictionary from Google and install it (!?!). A lot of back and forth, but no solution presented. Do you know where I can get a UK English spelling dictionary that I can instal in Acrobat and how I go about installing it? Any help much appreciated.
Thank you so much for watching! Unfortunately, I don't have any specific advice. In theory, you should be able to install the dictionary you need through the Customization Wizard. Here is a link from the Adobe support page that you may find helpful: helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/change-language-settings-of-acrobat.html.
Hye Mam.....I m seeking a software or any pdf extension .... Which show the meaning of that particular word on which I select .... during reading my pdf files.... have you any software of such kind?? because it is uncomfortable for me to copy and then paste in Google search or dictionary.
Hello, thank you for watching my video. I am not aware of a dictionary app for PDFs; however, if I come across one, I will post a comment here. Best of luck!
That's a frustrating issue because many things could cause it. The first thing to check is that there aren't any editing restrictions on your PDF. Best of luck!
Unfortunately, I don't think that Adobe Acrobat DC currently offers such a tool. I hope that they will add one in the future. Thank you for watching my video!
Thank you for watching! Last month, Adobe introduced a new spell-check feature in the latest version of Acrobat for desktop. The spell-check runs automatically when you open the PDF; however, you can turn it off in Settings.
Thank you, your videos are very helpful.
I am happy to hear that. Thank you for watching!

is there any plans to launch a language detector or proper spell checker for acrobat?
Not that I am aware of; however, it sure would be nice!

When i go to Edit = Spelling, my option to check fields and comments is ghosted. Any tips?

Thanks.
Boy, Adobe Acrobat is a GARBAGE program, eh? How hard would it be for them to install a basic spellcheck for all of the text in a pdf?!?
8 years later and they haven't done it yet.
