Historical question: Spell Checking Editable Text

[Barb Binder]

Hi Acrobat friends:

Has Adobe Acrobat ever had the ability to natively spell-check content, or has it always been limited to comments and fields, without third party assistance?

I found this online but only in one location and no confirmation elsewhere so am skeptical:

The software has a built-in spell check functionality. Navigating to the Spell Check Option: Go to Edit > Check Spelling > In Comments, Fields, & Editable Text.

Thanks in advance,

No, it never did, until recently.

Thanks, @try67.

I don't see it though, in either the new or classic interface. 🤔

What don't you see?

No, it never did, until recently.

I'm not seeing the option to spell check editable text in the most recent version, only comments and fields.

It does it automatically when you edit the text. It's not triggered through that command.

Thank you so much @try67!
