Spelling error red line in PDF converted from Word

[grainneo28003700]

I saved a Word 2016 doc to PDF with Adobe Acrobat X1 Pro. It introduced a spelling error red line under a technical word in a table (only in a table, nowhere else). The spelling was not flagged in the Word doc. How do I get rid of the red lines in teh PDF? Thanks, Grainne

How did you convert the file, exactly? Usually the spelling errors markups do not get converted, if you do it using Acrobat.

In my Word 2016 doc, I selected File - Save as Adobe PDF. The PDF was then created. The spelling error lines are showing up only in a table - which I now realise is a SmartArt object rather than a simple table so it could be connected to that? I didn't create the object myself but it looks like it's a SmartArt Horizontal Bullet List. It's not showing the spelling error line in the Word doc.

This is a Microsoft command. If you have Acrobat you should use the PDFMaker plugin via the Acrobat ribbon in Word, or the Adobe PDF printer.

I just created the PDF from the Acrobat ribbon in Word (using the Create PDF option - can't see anything with 'Plug-in') and also created it through printing to Adobe PDF but the error lines remain.

Can you share the source file with us (via Dropbox, Google Drive, Adobe

Document Cloud, etc.)?

No, those are internal addresses of the forum. You can use try6767 at gmail.com, but it's better to make it publicly available, so more people can see it...

File => Save as Adobe PDF is indeed the same as accessing the PDF creation via the Acrobat tab on the ribbon! It is part of PDFMaker!

I was under the impression this is a built-in command of Word... Maybe I'm getting it confused with the option to save as PDF via the Export or Save As dialog. I'm guessing if it says "Adobe" in the title then it must use Adobe software.
