No dictionaries were found. your installation might be corrupted

[KillerDonuts27]

I'm running Adobe Acrobat Standard DC.
Continuous Release Version 2021.007.20099

Core Version 21.1792
Windows 10 64-bit

I'm getting the error code anytime I try to use the text button and start typing on a new document. I followed some other people's guides to fixing this with no luck.
In Edit>Preferences>Spelling I have no dictionaries installed. Where would I be able to find a U.S. English Dictionary for this version?

Hi there

Hope you are doing well and sorry for the trouble. As described you are getting the error 'No dictionaries were found. your installation might be corrupted'

Please check out the correct answer marked in the similar discussion https://community.adobe.com/t5/acrobat-sdk-discussions/no-dictionaries-were-found/m-p/12475271#M8799... and see if that works for you.

This worked! Thank you very much!

I followed the instructions turning off Protected Mode and it worked. Then, when I re-enabled Protected Mode, I got the same "No dictionaries were found. Your installation might be corrupted" error message.

Annoying. I guess I'll keep protected mode turned off.

Hi there

As the application is working fine with protected mode turned off, please go through the help page https://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/protected-mode-troubleshooting-reader.html and see if that works.
