Read Out Loud Not working in Adobe Reader XI

Read Out Loud is not working.  I have selected the the Microsoft Anna voice in preferences. I have selected the recommended "infer order from doc".  I am at a loss to know why it does not work.  I am using MS Office Professional 2013.  Please help if you can.

Are you sure that the pdf you have isn't a scan? If so, that's just a picture of text so there is nothing to be read.

Is this a clue? I'm not sure how this fits in.

  • Adobe X1, Read out loud not working, says page is empty. suggestions

    Using Adobe X1, Windows 8  64bit. When trying to have a document Read Out Loud, says page is empty. any suggestions.

    The usual cause of this is because the page is a scanned image of text and contains no searchable text. Best way to tell is to use the select tool to try and select individual words. If you can't, that' the reason.

  • Read Out Loud Not Working - Acrobat Pro v9.2

    Hi,
    I'm working my way through the Adobe Acrobat 9 Classroom in a Book and in Lesson 6 came to a section for accessibility and the Read Out Loud feature. However, when I follow the lesson (and instructions in the Adobe Help files), nothing happens. No sound, nothing.
    I'm using Acrobat Pro v9.2 and Windows Vista.
    Does anyone have any suggestions? I've been searching through the Forums, Help Files, and Google to try to find a solution or maybe see whay I could be doing wrong, but have come up empty.
    I have checked my volume and it is set at maximum volume, and Read Out Load is activated under View -> Read Out Loud.
    Thank you for any assistance.

    Hi Bill,
    Thank you very much, that helped. I didn't know anything opened up when it was activated and set to read so I paid attention to what was happening and noticed the bar on the bottom, but it was there only a second before disappearing. So then I thought to set my preference to a very slow speed (which I learned can't be less than 150 words a minute) and I also changed the voice to a Microsoft voice (SanSoft voices were the other choices). When I tried again, it worked. I don't know if it was the speed or the voice or both, but I never would have considered those if I hadn't been aware of the bar. It must have shown before but it was so quick and I wasn't looking for it that I must have missed it.
    Thanks!

  • Is there / will there be / a "Read Out Loud" access option for Adobe Reader on the android?

    Adobe will "read" a pdf thru a Windows computer sound system.  Can we get the same feature on Adobe Reader / android version?

    Great question!!! When I travel I would like to be able to listen to some multi page documents....it would be like a book on tape.

  • Read out loud does not work on Adobe Reader XI.  Does anyone know how to fix this problem?

    Does anyone know how to repair the Read Out Loud problem with Adobe Reader XI?

    Hi thomash,
    Are you running into this problem with all PDFs, or just a select few? If the PDF was created from a scan, and OCR wasn't performed (so there's no "live" text), then there wouldn't be anything to read aloud.
    If the issue occurs regardless of the PDF you have open, has anything changed on your system since Read Out Loud worked for you?
    Best,
    Sara

  • How can I get read out loud to work on MAC for adobe reader?

    Having trouble getting the read out loud function to work on MAC.  It keeps says "BLANK" or "Warning Page Empty".  How can i get this resolved my the read out loud function to work properly?

    That depends.
    First, be sure the pdf isn't just scanned images. Can you select individual words with the select tool? If not, you would need to use a tool to run OCR before it can be read.

  • Read Out Loud doesnt work from IE

    In Acrobat reader 7.0.x, The Read Out Loud feature could be easily accessed from an opened PDF document inside Internet Explorer using the Shortcuts Shift-Ctrl-Y and Shift-Ctrl-V. However with version 8 and above this doesnt seem to work anymore. Is there any key combinations that needs to be used ?
    Unless it is a bug what could be the reason that a good functionality that was present in older versions is disabled in newer ones ?
    Thanks,
    Chait

    That depends.

  • Javascript not working in Adobe Reader

    Hi,
    I have given the following javascript code in the "Will Save" Document Action. But this code does not execute in Adobe Reader, it works fine in Acrobat Standard/Pro. Why this code does not execute in Reader?
    app.alert("Hi");
    if(app.viewerVersion<8){
    app.alert("Exit");
    this.closeDoc(true);
    Cheers,
    Vinay

    Yes the javascript is enabled.
    The alert comes up in Acrobat Pro when I use the 'Save' or 'Save a Copy option'.  When I use the 'Save a Copy' option in Adobe reader, the alert does not come up.
    Cheers,

  • ID CS6 Form Submit not working in Adobe Reader

    Hardware = Mac 8Core OSX 10.7.5 | Software = InDesign CS6 vs 8.01
    I'm having ongoing frustrations with the ID Cs6 Forms. The interactive form Submit button works on my machine's Adobe Acrobat Pro, but not on machines using Adobe Reader (I've given up on it working in Apple Preview). It has worked on one other mac machine, again it was Adobe Acrobat pro 9.1.1. Any advice will be appreciated. Thanks in advance: Justin

    You need to enable that in Acrobat Pro.

  • Tool Button Not Working in Adobe Reader 9

    Hello,
    I have a custom tool button - folder level script (with a trusted function) to digitally sign a drawing template.
    The tool button works in Reader 8 and Reader X, but is not working in Reader 9.
    The error message is shown "Not Allowed Error: Security settings prevent access to this property or method".
    Can any one please advise why this would not work in Reader 9 when the tool buttons work in other versions of Adobe Reader?
    Thank you.

    Adobe changes JS with every major release, check the Acrobat JS API Reference to see what has changed with regard to your code.
    Without seeing your code, there is no way tell what is going on. Also check the preferences to see if there is an option that needs to be checked to allow your script to work.
    Since Reader X works and it is free, why not upgrade?

  • AcroPDF ActiveX print functions are not working with Adobe Reader 9.2 / Actobat Reader 9.3

    AcroPDF ActiveX print functions are not working with Reader 9.2/9.3. Tried ActiveX print functions like printPages(), printAll(), printWithDialog(), none of them is working. Tried on platforms: XP 32 bit and Win7 32 bit. These print functions all work fine with Adobe Reader 9.1.0. or 8.2.0 or 8.1.0 on XP 32 bit or Win7 32 bit.
    The way I have my setup: I have created a C/C++ project with AcroPDF MFC ActiveX classes. I have created an AcroPDF object in there, and then calling it's LoadFile() function passing a pdf file in the parameter. Then calling the printPages() or printAll() function. With Adobe Reader 9.1.0. or 8.2.0 or 8.1.0, printing is starting through the default printer without any problem. As soon as I update the reader version to 9.2 or more, the same code stops working.
    Is anybody noticing any similar issue? Any info on this will be highly appreciated. Thank you!

    Unfortunately printWithDialog() is also not working. Actually none of the print functions like Print(), printWithDialog(), printPages(), printPagesFit(), printAll(), printAllFit() are working. All of them works fine though with older reader.
    BTW, what security related changes are there for printPages() and printAll()? Can you please elaborate on that? Is there any workaround?

  • Print not working in Adobe Reader 11.0.07.

    It does not acknowledge that I have clicked the “print” button in the program. Control   P also has no response. Therefore, I cannot even look at printer settings. I am running Mac OS X 10.9.4. I’ve uninstalled and reinstalled a few times. Admin settings allow me to print PDF’s. Printer is an HP LaserJet 1536dnf MFP. All other programs are able to print. Only Adobe Reader is not working. Any ideas?

    Have you tried these suggestions on the HP site? Cannot Print PDFs from Adobe Reader | HP® Support
    I didn't notice where they may have said to be sure you have the very latest print drivers installed but, you should install them if you haven't already.
