I am creating an interactive pdf with fillable text fields. How do I turn off the spell check for the text which appears as a red "underline" when I type in the box in the pdf? Thanks!

    The spellcheck is happening in the PDF editor?

    It has to be turned off there.

    I have turned off spellcheck in Acrobat preferences, does not fix the issue.
