I converted a form from a Word document to a PDF, and users need to be able to check spelling in Reader. This is a simple form...just a bunch of text boxes.
I tried using spell-check in Acrobat 8 Prof. and Reader 8, and neither worked for me. I purposely typed a misspelled word, and tried spell-check. After clicking Start, it just keeps saying "No misspellings found".
I tried going into Preferences and the box is checked to recognize misspellings while typing, but it doesn't underline any words I've misspelled.
I also need to enable usage rights so Reader users can save data. I tried spell-check with and without usage rights enabled.
I don't know what else to try...thanks in advance for any suggestions.
Check in the preferences again. On the Spelling panel, be sure you have selected a dictionary.
