Hi -- I'm using Mac 2011 Word. I cannot accurately spell-check Acrobat documents generated elsewhere, from within Acrobat -- so a forum post had suggested that the Acrobat file be saved as a Word doc, and the spell-check performed in Word. Great idea, I thought -- but the problem is that when I run spellcheck within the Spelling and Grammar dialog box, the text displayed in the top box (labeled "Not in dictionary") is in the font/color that Acrobat exported it out as... which is often too small or challenging for me to read. (I am not planning on leaving the document in Word -- I am only using Word as an intermediary spelling tool... so ultimately it doesn't matter to me what the fonts look like. But if I convert the entire document to Verdana 12pt black text, everything will reflow, and I will have a hard time identifying which page on my original, this text can be found.)



So I'm wondering if there's a way to have the Spelling dialog box show the suggested incorrect word in a generic (ie: Verdana 12pt) font, instead of displaying the word in whatever formatting it happens to use in the document.

Thanks.

I don't know which Acrobat product you have, but Pro appears to include a spell-check option under Edit. Alternatively, you could save the .pdf as plain text and use an editor or just an external spell-checker …
