Spell check
There are two ways to run a spell check in Revu depending on whether you wish to spell check or PDF Content. One important difference between these processes is that, when spell checking Markups and Form Fields, you have the opportunity to correct spelling errors; spell checking PDF content will identify spelling errors, but does not offer a mechanism for changing a spelling (although in some cases you can use Edit Text to change a spelling).
Revu offers two different spell check options depending on what you're working with:
- Markups and Form Fields: You can find and fix spelling errors
- PDF content: You can identify spelling errors, but you can't change them directly (though you might be able to use Edit Text in some cases)
Spell check markups and form fields
When you're editing text-based markups or form fields, Revu automatically highlights unrecognized words with squiggly underlines. The color matches what you've set in your Spelling Preferences. Right-click any highlighted word to see suggested replacements or add the word to your dictionary.
To run spell check, select to Edit > Check Spelling > 
Check Spelling in Markups and Form Fields
During the spell check, you'll see each flagged word in context with options for handling it.
If the word isn't actually misspelled, you have three options:
- Ignore Once: Skip this instance, but flag it again if it appears elsewhere.
- Ignore All : Skip all instances during this spell check session.
- Add to Dictionary: Save the word so it won't be flagged in future spell checks.
If the word is misspelled, you have two options:
- Change: Fix just this instance with your selected suggestion.
- Change All: Fix every instance of this misspelling in the document.
Spell check PDF content
This process adds squiggly markup under misspelled words in your PDF content.
-
Go to Edit > Check Spelling >
Markup Spelling Mistakes.
- Choose your markup color by selecting the Color box
-
Select Place Suggestions in Comment if you want spelling suggestions added to your Markups list.
-
Select your page range:
- All Pages: Sets the range to all pages.
- Current: Sets the range to the current page only. The current page number will appear in parentheses, for example, Current (2) if page 2 is the current page.
- Selected: Sets the range to the current selection. This option only appears if pages were selected prior to invoking the command.
- Custom: Sets the range to a custom value. When you select this option, replace any text left in the field with the page or pages to be printed directly. To enter a custom range:
- Use a dash between page numbers to define those two pages and all pages in between.
- Use a comma to define pages that are separated.
For example: 1-3, 5, 9 will include pages 1, 2, 3, 5 and 9.
- Select OK.
