jackamus Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 I have opened a multi-page pdf doc in AD for editing. When opened many of the words are underlined in red as though they were spelt wrongly which is not the case. I tend to think that they are an artifact that has just appeared for no reason. Is this a know oddity and can they be removed? They disappear if I uncheck 'Check spelling while typing'. Quote If voting made any difference it wouldn't be allowed!

000 Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 Have you checked, if the language of you document fits the language of the PDF file? Or are you saying that the markers do not come back when you re-activate the spellcheck? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackamus Posted February 27, 2019 Author Share Posted February 27, 2019 I checked the language and it was set at 'Default' so I changed it to 'English' and restarted the AD. When I re-opened the pdf it still showed the incorrect red underlining. If I uncheck they go but when I check they come back. Quote If voting made any difference it wouldn't be allowed!

Staff stokerg Posted February 27, 2019 Staff Share Posted February 27, 2019 Hi jackamus, If you open the PDF and check on the Character Studio (View>Studio>Character), you'll see a Language drop down box, that needs to be set to the same language as the PDF you've opened. So for me, if i open the attached PDF in Designer the word Colour would only be underlined if i had a different language other than English United Kingdom selected. If that doesn't help, we would need a copy of the PDF file to look into this further Spell check test.pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackamus Posted February 27, 2019 Author Share Posted February 27, 2019 I checked this and it is OK. One thing I didn't say was that only the pages, that I originally typed in Open Office and saved as a pdf, are affected. Maybe going from an odt file to a pdf and then opened in AD is asking too much of the software. What do you think? Quote If voting made any difference it wouldn't be allowed!

What do you think? Can't say i'd expect that to be an issue. It's possible part of that process has caused the issue. If you have a sample PDF you can attach here or upload to our Dropbox here. If you can let me know which page is the problem, i'll check it out and see what the issue could be Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
