Step 1: Activate Spell Check
Launch Adobe Acrobat and open the PDF document you want to check. Go to the "Edit" menu on the main toolbar above and select "Check Spelling". This will activate the spell check feature. Adobe Acrobat will highlight any misspelled words and provide suggestions for corrections.
Step 2: Start Spell Check
Click on the misspelled word and choose the correct spelling from the suggestions provided. While the spell check is active, you can also enable grammar check. Look for a grammar check option in the spelling preferences.

Method 2: How to Use Grammarly to Check Spelling and Grammar in PDFs?
Grammarly is a popular writing assistant that can also be used to check spelling and grammar in PDFs. While it doesn't directly integrate with PDF files, you can use a workaround to leverage its capabilities:
Step 1: Convert PDF to Word or Text
Use a PDF-to-Word or PDF-to-Text converter to extract the text from your PDF document. Or you can directly use "Copy & Paste" to extract the text.
Step 2: Let Grammarly Analyze
Once you have the text extracted, paste it into Grammarly's online editor or use the Grammarly desktop app. Grammarly will analyze the text for spelling, grammar, punctuation, and style errors.
Step 3: Copy and Paste Corrected Text Back into PDF
Carefully review the suggestions provided by Grammarly and make any necessary corrections one by one. Copy the corrected text from Grammarly and paste it back into the original PDF document. You may need to use a PDF editor to replace the existing text.
