List the steps to highlight buttons on Read Out Loud

Hi,
I have installed the adobe acrobat professional 7.0 on my desktop PC which is running microsoft xp professional. I want to use the Read Out Load(View-> Read Out Load) feature, but none of the buttons are highlighted for any of the PDF. Irony is i have installed the same software(adobe acrobat professional 7.0) in a laptop which runs on Windows XP professional and am able to use this feature.
Would you please tell me do i have to install any other applications to use this feature(Read Out Load).

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 is not working

    I can't get some PDF to read out loud. Any idea why? I am able to select and copy the texts so it's not an image for sure. If I paste the texts to word or some other app, I can use the text to speech from my Mac OS to read out loud and it's working fine. Any suggestion is much appreciated.

    Here's something new. This is one, http://www.ponemon.org/local/upload/file/NokNokWP_FINAL_3.pdf, of the many files that read out loud did not work. After reading your email, I thought I tried something new. The PDF in this link here read out loud fine in Safari and Chrome browser but when I downloaded to my computer it did not work in both  Reader or Pro v11.0.10. I have a MacBook Pro Yosemite. That is very strange.

    Same here.... No fix. Replacing is the option apparently and if you're out of warranty, you're SOL. That was as per the "Genius" at Apple.

  • I have my photos on an eternal USB connected drive. I am trying to import them to PSE. The "Copy on Import" button is greyed out. How can I enable it so I can disconnect the external drive?.

    The "Copy on Import" button is greyed out. How can I enable it so I can disconnect the external drive?.

    "Copy" is normally used when connecting a camera or card reader.
    Simply copy or move folders from your external drive to your computer hard drive, then from the Organizer menu click:
    File >> Get Photos & Videos >> From Files & Folders
    Then navigate to the new location on your internal hard drive.

  • Read Out Loud States Authoring for Highlights

    Hello fellow Adobe fans,
    I usually Highlight my user manuals so it's easier to find things later.
    Today I turned on "Read out Loud" and for each Highlighted word it says:
    "Highlight Comment Christine July 31, 2012 7 hours 35 minutes and 1 sec (end link)"
    The "end link" is in parentheses because I'm not positive that's what it's saying.
    This is really annoying!   I've gone through the Preferences numerous times and the help files as well.  Is there a way to disable this?
    Does anyone know why it's doing this and how to stop it?  Or is my excessive use of Highlights the problem; perhaps "Read Out Loud" wasn't designed for it?  Although, even if it was just a few words; it's still extremely distracting.  I could see it's use if I was collaborating with a group; but surely there must be a way to turn this off for the average user?
    About the file: I saved a Microsoft web page by "printing" it to a file using my Quicken PDF Printer.  I'm using Adobe Reader v10.1.3 and Windows XP SP3.
    Thanks very much for your time 

    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.

    Regarding the cursor moving on its own, see:

    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.

  • I need help with a PDF file that is an image, the "Read Out Loud' option does not work, please help!

    I need help with a PDF file that is an image, the "Read Out Loud' option does not work, please help!

    You mean an image such as a scanned document?
    If that is the case, the file doesn't contain any text for Reader Out Loud to read. In order to fix that, you would need an application such as Adobe Acrobat that does Optical Character Recognition to convert the images to actual text.
    You can also try to export the file as a Word document or something else using ExportPDF which I believe offers OCR and is cheaper than Acrobat.

  • I have created PDF from hardcopy by using my scanner. After I run OCR option for my PDF by using Acrobat Pro 9. But "Text-to-speech" functionality of the PDF says that an error message comes up that says the page is empty when I turns on the read out loud

    I have created PDF from hardcopy by using my scanner. After I run OCR option for my PDF by using Acrobat Pro 9. But "Text-to-speech" functionality of the PDF says that an error message comes up that says the page is empty when I turns on the read out loud option in Acrobat. Kindly help me to sortout this problems?

    So I tried generating the same PDFs on two other computers that have Acrobat 9 Pro.  Results were reproduced.  The verdict is:
    - complex PDF files (that is, containing cross-references, tables of contents, and bookmarks) generated by Acrobat 9.x Pro are roughly 2-5x larger than the identical file generated with Acrobat 8.x Pro.
    - different PDF conversion settings make a negligable difference (less than 10% rather than 70-80%).
    - using the "Reduce File Size" or "Optimize PDF" option cuts the file size roughly in half, almost always resulting in a "image downsampling mask" warning message, which requires acknowledgement (that is a problem for batch processing or automation).
    - adding an Acrobat watermark to the file cuts the file size roughly in half.
    - just using Save As to another filename has no effect on file size.
    - generating the PDF in Acrobat 9 with links but no PDF bookmarks still results in the inflated file size.
    - generating the PDF in Acrobat 9 without any links or bookmarks results in approximately the same file size as the Acrobat 8 PDF with full links and bookmarks.
    It appears that Acrobat 9's manner of adding links is what's bloating  the files, and in my case it's probably not related to images or image resolution/print quality.  It's a shame, because Acrobat 9 seems to have made some  improvements to the Review Tracker interface, and a few other bells and  whistles which I haven't really gotten around to exporing yet.  But  unless I find a way to keep my links and the PDF file sizes comparable to what I was  getting with Acrobat 8 Pro, it looks like I'm going to stay with Acrobat 8.

  • Can the Read Out Loud tool read tooltips?

    Hello,
    I have created a PDF with a text form field where the user will enter his/her name and then print a course completion certificate.  I have named the text form field and added a tooltip.
    1.  It looks fine in Form Edit mode but there is text that looks like it's behind the tool tip.  It is different words than the tooltip and larger font size.  I can't remember how I got that text there.  I just wanted to edit it a little bit but can't find where to do so.  Any suggestions?
    2.  I have made this form accessibile but is there a way to have the Read Out Loud tool actually read the tooltips?
    3.  Also, how do I add a screen shot to this discussion?
    Thanks!

    Any suggestions on this one?
    Thanks.

  • Adobe Read Out Loud feature not working

    Anyone else run into this.  We activate it, it scans the document looking for tags, then does not read it.  Any ideas?

    Hey there hdilios,
    Just been trying to sort this one out myself, I noticed that you tried re-installing Adobe Reader with the same result.
    Could it be that, when you installed the first time / updated and then re-installed, Adobe Reader Protected Mode was automatically re-applied by default. Read Out Loud will not function while in Protected Mode.
    You must disable it to hear Read Out Loud document reader, it is quite safe to disable this additional security function, and the only way to make it work.
    To disable Adobe Reader XI Protected Mode
    - Open Adobe Reader
    - Click menu item Edit
    - Select Preferences
    - Preference panel opens
    - Select Security (Enhanced) in Categories list
    - Uncheck Enable Protected Mode at Startup
    - Dialog opens Click Yes
    - Close Preferences
    - Close/Restart Adobe Reader
    - Open a document you wish to read
    - Activate Read Out Loud
    - Choose Option to read Page or Whole Document
    - or setup for Reading with the Accessability Assistant.
    Hope this is the answer you are looking for, my Read Out Loud feature is functioning fine now it had me baffled for a while, thought my sound card was malfunctioning.
    Cheers Jethro
