How to create custom dictionaries in Adobe Reader

Question

I am trying to create a custom dictionary and use it in Adobe Reader.
I found some information in a blog about the custom dictionary that is created and stored in the following location "C:\Users\PIN\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Linguistics\Dictionaries\Adobe Custom Dictionary\all\added.clam" and called added.clam.
I am not sure if there is a way to edit the CLAM file or create a new one from scratch.
When downloading the dictionary pack for multiple languages, is it one file or can one take one of them and modify it with a set of one’s own word and in-house acronyms so that it can be distributed to our in-house users.

Answer 1

Thanks Pat.
I want to create a custom dictionary that will support all our users when they access the “forms document” through Adobe Reader/Acrobat.
The issues I am having is file names and location of the files.
The default dictionary name under Custom Dictionaries has a .clam extension.
Is there a way to edit this"?"
Does it contain the index settings for all the other added.txt and excluded.txt dictionary files"?"
The default location is under a user’s C:\Users\PIN\ AppData\LocalLow\Adobe\Linguistics\Dictionaries\Adobe Custom Dictionary.
This is buried under the users profile and we need to be able to update these files on all the users workstations prior to log on.
This could be done by redirection of the new custom dictionary. What is the location of that setting in the registry"?"
Is there is a way to append to the dictionary file so I do not come along an replace any setting that a user may have made to the dictionary"?"
This would be done to the .clam or .txt file outside of the Adobe Reader application.
What is the “All” setting in the dictionary"?"
Does that imply the program will look through all the dictionaries.
I am not finding a way to create a new dictionary name that would appear under the preferences\spelling\dictionaries list. Is there an Index file that would point to a newly created Dictionary folder"?"
Being able to create a new entry and have it checked, and then directed to a new location, would allow the original dictionaries to work as is and also connect to this newly created and selected dictionary.
This would alleviate some of the challenges mentioned above.
Is there a way to configure this with the Adobe Customization wizard"?" 
I do not see the feature.
