How to Disable access to Preferences Menu (Spelling) Adobe Acrobat Reader

How do you Disable access to Preferences Menu (Spelling) in Adobe Acrobat Reader.

 

I know how to make the "Check spelling while typing" check box to OFF

But I want to force said user to not be able to access Preferences menu and then Spelling and tick the option back on.

 

A GPO maybe for Windows.

 

Any ideas?

Hi there 

 

Hope you are doing well and thanks for reaching out. 

 

Adobe Acrobat Reader doesn’t offer a built-in setting to lock or hide individual Preferences menus (like Spelling), If you’re deploying Reader across devices, Adobe’s Customization Wizard allows pre-configuration of settings and deployment of locked configurations.
