Hey Amine, LibreOffice (along with loads of other software) uses Hunspell dictionaries for spell-checking. You can get them here [1]. Hunspell [2] is a spell checker similar to Aspell. (A Windows port is available in the EZWinPorts [3].) Unlike Aspell, it can’t parse TeX files. One way around this is to convert the TeX files into plain text (maybe using Pandoc or DeTeX?) and spell-checking just the text. I tried this, but I found it quite cumbersome and since switched to the build-in spell-checker in my editor. PDF files could probably be spell-checked in a similar way.

Hi Alain,
Yes that's what I mean, spellchecking any content which is not a control sequence. That should include things like section titles and footnotes. Though I'm afraid that might be asking for too much.
I'd rather not make it part of my editor (I use vim) and have it as an extra step which I can add to something like a Makefile.
Do I need to install all of Libreoffice to gain access to the files you mention or is there an easier way?
