Bug ID: 514431
Summary: add setting to disable spell checking in pdf forms
Classification: Applications
Product: okular
Version First 25.11.90
Reported In:
Platform: Debian testing
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: wishlist
Priority: NOR
Component: PDF backend
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
Okular has automatic inline spell checking enabled for multi-line pdf forms and
no option under "configure okular" to turn it off. It's possible to disable it
per-form via the right click context menu, but it should also be possible to
disable globally, like any other gear application that can edit text.
Use cases include anything where fields intentionally contain terms not in the
dictionary - in my case this is TTRPG character sheets, but it's easy to
imagine business or government cases too. The red underlining is visually
distracting and unhelpful.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open a pdf with a multi-line form text box in it
2. Type a series of letters not recognized as a word, such as "sdlkfjz"
OBSERVED RESULT
Red underlining is visible under the unrecognized word
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma: Debian forky/sid
KDE Plasma Version: 6.5.4
KDE Frameworks Version: 6.20.0
Qt Version: 6.9.2
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Also confirmed in Debian 13 "trixie" with okular 25.04.2.
