Adding words to a dictionary
You can add to the list of words (the dictionary) that are recognized when spell-checking
text in note comments and form fields. Adding names and company terminology can
reduce the number of words that are flagged during a spell check. You can also exclude
words from being considered. For example, if you want to use an alternate spelling for a
common word like "bicycle," add it to the list of excluded words so that it is flagged
during a spell check. Acrobat can maintain a separate set of added and excluded words for
each installed language.

1. Do one of the following:
● During a spell check, if an unrecognized word appears in the Check Spelling dialog box,
