Foxit PDF Editor allows users to check the spelling of PDF files and provides suggestions to correct misspelled words. This feature is useful when users want to proofread text. You can check for possible mistakes and then confirm each correction.
By default, Foxit PDF Editor automatically checks the spelling when you edit text, add text comments with the typewriter/Textbox/Callout commands, or input text in comment pop-up notes. You can disable the automatic spelling check by unchecking Enable spell check from File > Preferences > Spelling.
To check spelling within an entire document, please do the following:
- Click Edit > Check Spelling.
In the pop-up CheckSpelling dialog box, you will see the suspect word and suggestions for correction.
Ignore – Click Ignore if no correction is needed.
Ignore All – Click Ignore All to skip all further occurrences of the current “misspelling”.
Change – Click Change after selecting one suggestion to make the suggested correction.
Add To Dictionary – Click Add to Dictionary if the suspect word is spelled correctly but doesn’t appear in Foxit PDF Editor’s dictionary. Choosing Add to Dictionary adds the word to Foxit PDF Editor’s custom dictionary, which is a supplemental list of spelled-correctly words used to proofread a document.
Cancel – Click Cancel to exit the Check Spelling dialog box.
Tip: You can add, remove, or reorder dictionaries in File > Preferences > Spelling.
