How do I get read out loud to continue after each page?

Read out loud stops at end of each page, eventhough I select read to end of document.

Nevermind. It is working after updating.

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.

How can I get "Read Out Loud" to read a calander properly for the blind?

I create a monthly newsletter for a place that has a traditional calendar along with it. One of the people this newsletter goes to is blind and uses a screen reader to read it out loud. I also discovered Adobe Reader can also do this. Unfortunately, both methods do not seem to understand how a calendar is read. Each day on the calendar has several events written into each. So when it reads, it goes from left to right with first reading the numbers of the day, then reading the first line of events all the way across, then second, third, etc... the will read the next row of day numbers along with the events, etc... Of course I want it to read the single day number with the events next, then the next day number and events, etc... I use InDesign to create everything if that helps at all. Is there any way to create this PDF so a reader will read it properly?

Hi,
Acrobat's ROL, while I find it very useful, is limited.
After all, it is not a "AT" caliber text reader.
It "reads" PDF page content left to right --- period.
It has no recognition of the logical hierarchy or structure of a PDF's content.
Consequently, what you've described is pretty much all you get.
For AT (JAWS, Windows Eyes, NVDA, etc.) to "work" a PDF properly the PDF must come from an authoring application that supports Tag management for the Tagged output PDF.
The authoring file content must be mastered in a manner that supports a Tagged output PDF that complies with ISO 32000-1:2008 (The ISO Standard for PDF).
(Available via: http://www.acrobatusers.com/blogs/leonardr/adobe-posts-free-iso-32000 )
This is particularly true for tables.
Typically, "calendars" available for MS Word, other word processors or page layout applications usage are "layout" tables and as such will not provide an accessible table in a Tagged PDF.
A calendar, built as a data table such that it had a header row with header cells, a table body with data rows of data cells, etc,. could be the source content for a correctly built <Table> in PDF.
Such a table can be processed by AT (via appropriate keyboard commands) to permit understanding of the "who-what-why-..." of the table.
With an appropriate table description, you'd have an AT "usable" calender.
The calendar could be mastered in MS Word.
Conversion to PDF via Adobe PDFMaker or Office 2007's Save-As to PDF (with accessibility option selected) result in well-formed Tagged PDF.
n.b., Regardless of which may be used - be sure you've processed all available updates (Adobe's or Microsoft's) - it makes a difference.
From viewing InDesign/Accessibility eSeminars provided by Adobe I believe you can master tables the will be well-formed <Table> & child elements with InDesign. Until InDesign / FrameMaker get a make over <TH> Scope will still have to be done manually with Acrobat Pro.
If you have complex tables that warrent use of ID and Header you will want to use Acrobat 9 as the task is easier with it.

How can I get the Index tabs to show for each page that is open in the window like on the older versions. I close a window and it says I have tabs open but the tabs are not visible. How do I set it like the older versions? This was easy to manage

The index tabs were on some kind of toolbar just below the bookmark toolbar and you could see what was open in multiple tabs. I'm not referring to rolling over the Firefox icon for the Windows 7 thing, that's a pain. These index tabs were in plain sight. No matter what I try in Firefox 8, they won't appear.

the tabs were move to above the navigation bar, where the menu bar was. They hardly look like tabs there, but you may have turned off the tabs bars. View (Alt>V) > Toolbars > Tabs Bar
I think the solutions would really prefer though would be
You can make '''Firefox 8.0''' look like Firefox 3.6.*, see numbered '''items 1-10''' in the following topic [http://dmcritchie.mvps.org/firefox/firefox-problems.htm#fx4interface Fix Firefox 4.0 toolbar user interface, problems (Make Firefox 4.0 thru 8.0, look like 3.6)]. ''Whether or not you make changes, you should be aware of what has changed and what you have to do to use changed or missing features.''
* http://dmcritchie.mvps.org/firefox/firefox-problems.htm#fx4interface
<p>There is a lot more beyond those first 10 steps listed, if you want to make Firefox more functional.</p>

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

Read Out Loud in a different language?

Is it possible to use the Read Out Loud option in a differente language (from English and Spanish) such as Portuguese? How?
Thank you

ilhanbalamur, I am not sure what you are trying to draw my attention to on this page. As I said in my post, I KNOW how to activate the Read Out Loud feature, and my PDFs are fully accessible. Perhaps there is something in the page you suggested that I am missing, but I see nothing there that will help me troubleshoot Acrobat's crashing when I select Read to End of Page or Read This Document. Please be more specific in your comment.

Read Out Loud in two languages

Topic
Read out loud in two languages
stewart tower - 06:52am Feb 17, 2009 Pacific
I work in an office that prepares many reports in both english and french. A common document will have the english and french running side by side; english in the left column, french on the right. Each language will be one story that flows throughout the document.
A PDF is exported from InDesign. Tags are applied to the PDF and a check of the TAGS panel in Acrobat shows that each language is one story.
What we need if for this document to be able to Read Out Loud, english in its entirety and the same for the french. However, when the document reads out loud it reads the full english column on each page but then goes to the french column on the same page.
How can we make the PDF file read each language completely without reading both english and french for each page?
Thanks.

Read Out Loud.api

Installed Adobe Reader XI and the Read Out Loud plug-in is not loaded. I believe this is way the Read Out Loud feature does not work. Please tell me how to load the read out loud.api

There are no error messages. The reader will not perform the Read Out Loud. It shows the boxes but no audio so I looked at the plug-ins in the help tab and that's where I see that the read out loud plug-in is not loaded.

Read Out Loud shortens single words

Hi, I have Adobe Reader 9.3.2 on PC. READ OUT LOUD (ROL) works fine for pages and documents.
Here is the problem:
When ROL reads a single word it removes the last character.To read a single word I switch on ROL and then click in a word. A solid box surrounds the word and then ROL reads the word. Here are some examples. Here is a sample showing where I clicked in the middle of the current text.
word - ROL says: wor (one letter short! Not OK)
words - ROL says: word (one letter short! Not OK)
word) - ROL says: word (kind of OK? )
word! - ROL says: word (kind of OK? )
Any ideas? To me the problem is that ROL is outlining one character short...
thx Raphael

Same problem here. I can change the voice* but even with the "use default speech attributes" button unchecked, changing the pitch or WPM does absolutely nothing. Bug?
* even though I can change the voice, they all sound awful and mechanical - barely like the actual voices when played using other Mac apps. I figure maybe this has something to do with using an incorrect pitch, but since I can't change the pitch, they all just sound awful.

How do I get my Adobe Digital book read out loud.

I am disabled and need to use text to speech. I purchased an ebook which is an Adobe Digital Edition. I have really enjoyed using Adobe Reader with the Read Out Loud feature and was shocked when I discovered I could not use this feature on the Digital Editions. If I knew Adobe cared so little about the disabled I would sought the book in a different format.
Does anyone out there have any ideas on how to be able to get this expensive book read for me?

I do not know quite what you mean by "paid for them to transfer all my data and programs over"... I'm hoping you are not implying that you simply copied (had copied) programs from your application folder to your new computer.
You still need to go through the installation process to install Photoshop, Illustrator, etc.

This is not known behavior of Flashback. To make sure you're not infected, just install any updates that are available in Software Update. For more info on this, see About the Flashback malware.
That e-mail just sounds like a phishing attempt, and trying to open and view the attached zip file is a major error! It probably contains malware. Fortunately for you, it's almost certainly Windows malware, as I've never yet heard of a case of Mac malware being sent via e-mail in this way. But it could happen, so you should never, ever open attachments from people you don't know, especially in such suspicious circumstances!
Finally, I, like etresoft, have never heard of Avira. There's a lot of bad AV software out there, so without knowing more about it, I would agree that it should be removed, using whatever uninstaller is provided by Avira. If you want to use AV software, use either Sophos Anti-Virus for Mac Home Edition or ClamXav. Both are free and excellent.

Read Out Loud won't read tags, reads content instead

Hi,
I have a PDF generated through a third party library, and it is a tagged PDF (running it in PAC 1.3 and 2.0 says it passes accessibility test) and when I use the Read Out Loud feature on it in Adobe Acrobat Pro XI and Adobe Reader, it ignores all the tags (including any Alternate and Actual text fields) and reads the content of the PDF instead of the tags. It even reads the header and the footer which are marked as Artifacts, which is strange as Artifacts should never be read out loud. When I run NVDA and have it read the PDF, it reads it normally as expected (reads only the tags, and follows the Alternate/Actual text fields).
http://www.sendspace.com/file/4ouw92
Here's an example of the file. I would expect the Read Out Loud feature to start with "I don't know", but instead it says DEVELOPMENT (an artifact) and then I D N, then I expect it to get to the last line of text before the footer and then simply continue to the second page, but it will instead read the header and the footer before it moves on to the next page. Any reason why it behaves like this? Why it ignores the tags and why it doesn't ignore the artifacts?
Thanks,
Dejan

Hi "a C student",
Thank you for your reply.
In order to make a sample of the pdf I changed actual code to produce the PDF I have linked to in my original post, and I didn't actually check that it passes PAC 1.3 and 2.0, as I simply believed that my code change did exactly the same thing that the production code does. It of course did not, and I gave you a "possessed" PDF Sorry about that. Here is a new sample, this time done a bit better
http://www.sendspace.com/file/ndajik
In PAC 1.3 it only warns about bookmarks, in 2.0 it fails the font embedding which should not be an issue and says PDF/UA identifier is not set - this might be the issue, but I do not know how to set it, I understood that all I need is to have the Title, Language and some other metadata fields set for the PDF to be PDF/UA compliant.
Anyway, I hope this sample works out better for you
Thanks,
Dejan

Any way to have Kindle content or PDFs read out loud?

I see from various web pages that this is possible but I can't figure out quite how to get it to work. I have some PDFs which I could transfer to the iPhone through iTunes, and a bunch of books already in my Kindle app on the iPhone. Can either or both of these be read out loud? If so, how?!?
thanks in advance,
Mike

Hi Michael,

Activating Read Out Loud degraded text in pdf

When I activated Read Out Loud in a pdf, the text became degraded - as though it were made up of tiny dots. Deactivating Read Out Loud did not help. Now every pdf I open in Adobe Reader X has that same degraded text. How can I get my normal looking text back?

Is there real text within the tagged area that will not read-aloud?
Jon
