User dictionaries

If you press Add during the spell check, FlexiPDF "learns" the word by adding it to a user dictionary file on the hard disk. User dictionaries are normal text files.

If you inadvertently add a word, you can edit the user dictionary using a text editor such as Notepad. You can also use a text editor to add new words to the user dictionary, for example, words that you have already added to the spell check of your Office suite.

Storage location of user dictionaries

The user dictionary files for all languages are created in the same folder. They are created for a language the first time you add a word to the spell check.

Storage location on Windows 7, 8, 10 and 11:
C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\FlexiPDF\4\hunspell\fp-userdicts

User dictionary format

The *.txt dictionary files are simple word lists, with each word on its own line. Example:

Technology

SoftMaker

Ltd

FlexiPDF

Changes to the user dictionary will only take effect when you restart FlexiPDF.
