PDF documents are intended for reading. There is no need for spell-checking. For you browser, use Aspell with Opera, or IE Spell with IE, or install a free dictionary like WordWeb dictionary/theaurus for looking up single words.

Whilst generaly Bhikkhu is right - I agree there are instances when a spell checker would be useful and we will look at this as a future option

I would like to add my vote to adding spell check capabilities - to spell check what I write in annotations. Thanks. -John

I'll just add my support for a spell checker. I use PDF xChange extensively as a form fill tool, so I use typewriter and comment tools a lot. Spell check would be great for the comment tools. Probably not needed for the base text in the document - it normally comes from a document that had spell check.

Thanks for a great product, and great support!

Ditto the vote for a spell checker for the Text Box Tool.

Great to hear that spell check will be available soon! I hope it is applied across all tools that allow text creation.

PDF XChange is a great tool and has positively changed the way I utlize PDF files! Nice job!

HI,
Here is a small utility that I find very useful and works in most apps. Great for annotations.
TinySpell.... http://tinyspell.numerit.com/ . I am using an older version 1.5, still available.
