I just found this out today... pretty neat. You can listen to any PDF file instead of reading with Adobe Reader 7 .0 Or 6.0,
and the short cut is:
Ctrl+shift+b - to hear the entire Document
Ctrl+shift+v - to hear the page
Ctrl+shift+c - to resume
Ctrl+shift+e - to stop
Open any PDF File, that has a lot of text and test.... unbelievable.

Thanks for posting the shortcuts. I receive quite a bit of PDF files for work but have never used that feature.

That's really interesting.

They really have to make voice a bit more clearer though.

Thanks! Never knew about it!

Does this work with foxitreader?

 

[Gaughtfried]

I've just given it a whir and I don't think it works with foxit.

It's too bad; I love foxits typewriter feature.

Can't believe I never knew this...I'm gonna check it out later...

Peace,

Too bad. But I guess it's not worth it to download Acrobat all over again just to try it out.

That's really cool but the voice program isn't very smart. If you use to read magazine articles that have insets then you'll be in trouble because it just keeps on reading down one column. It doesn't differentiate between the main test and insets. None the less, I'm glad I know this neat little trick.

Thanks for the info!
This will be too much fun at work tomorrow. People will be returning to their desks with PDF's talking and they won't know how to stop it.

Adobe should have made it known, especially to the sight-handicapped community -- at least there is some redeeming value to their bloat.

But for most people, Foxit Reader is a much quicker, much slimmer program for pdf.

goofy voice, and read too fast. wonder if they have better voices.

I'd like Mr T. to read all my pdf's...

Just tried on a random, electronic component data sheet.
The 'voice' seemed perfect for the subject matter.
