Read Loud a pdf file

How to select MS Server Speech Text to Speech Voice?

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.

Read text in pdf files

Hi Ppl,
Is it possible to read text from pdf file ? We can use activex controls to open and display pdf files, but these activex doesn seem to support reading of text from these pdf files. Help me out plz.
Thanks

The full PDF format is VERY complex. Probably the reason why PDFBox was choking on one of the PDF files of a former poster. You are of course free to implement a PDF parser in LabVIEW but expect this to be a project where a man year of effort certainly won't be enough to even get close to what PDFBox can do. Then decide if you want to give it away for free just for the good karma of it, or attempt to sell it with a potential of maybe one license every year.
Just look at the opposite direction: Creating a PDF file from within LabVIEW. There are several Toolkits out there who can do that and they already took a considerable amount of time to develop. Yet the generation of a small subset of PDF features in a file is several exponents easier than parsing and interpreting any exisiting PDF document that might have been created by tools like Adobe Acrobate, with Adobe as the creater of PDF potentially using all the bells and whistles they eventually put into the PDF standard over those two or more decades, including quite a few bugs that eventually got documented as a feature.

Help me how to read the Hyperlinks from the PDF file using java ...
Thanks in advance,
With Regards,
J.Imran

Instead of cross-posting unformatted code you could have taken a look at the API, because there you might have come across a method named getLinks...Even though it's not documented, I really suspect that it will return the Hyperlinks on a given page.

I am unable to read signatures on PDF files sent from my Los Angeles office - they use windows, any solution?

I am unable to read signatures on PDF files sent from my Los Angeles office - they use windows, any solution?

Hey guys,
So this is follow up from my debarkle with the EDD. I found out my problem with copying files from Mac to EDD and vice versa was a result of a not so good EDD ( i had an apollo hard drive from imation) that was not very compatible with macs. So i did my research and found out that the best hard drives were Western Digital and Seagate. I bought the newest western digital EDD 1TB and formated it to FAT32 and guess what...no problems so far. The only problem is that FAT32 format doesn't copy files larger than about 4 gigs so i couldnt copy a movie from my brothers computer onto my EDD that was 1080p. You could probably resolve that by partitioning a small part of your hard drive in ExFAT? but yeah, hopefully that helped guys.

Adobe Acrobat XI will NOT read aloud any pdf files

Ever since I upgraded to Marvericks, Adobe Acrobat XI will NOT read aloud any pdf files. How can I fix this. It previously worked fine.
I create tagged pdf files in InDesign to be compatible with 508 accessibility standards.The files read aloud on a Mac with OS X Lion but not on Mavericks.

no, still no resolution. It is very frustrating. I did have one 8 page document that it will read the first page but nothing else.
Did you find an answer?

I have a SharePoint document library, My Requirement is when user add PDF file on the document library the event receiver fire and read contents inside

If what you need is a way to extract text from the PDF inside the event handler, see this example that uses leadtools.
http://support.leadtools.com/CS/forums/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=43894
You should use PDF text extractor in your Event Handler code -
You can use iTextSharp for reading content

How do I run Adobe Reader to display pdf files in Windows 8?

I'm confused! Where is the executable for adobe pdf reader in windows 8? I want to launch it from powershell to display a pdf file. It used to be trivial in windows 7 but now the adobe pdf reader is an app and I cannot find the executable using the task
manager.
Can someone help me launch it from cmd.exe or powershell_ise to display a pdf file?
I just downloaded and installed the Adobe PDF reader and I cannot execute the reader c:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Reader 10.0\Reader\AcroRd32.exe. I get no error messages and no GUI display. What is going on?
Thanks,
Siegfried

Hi,
As far as I know, that Windows 8 has a reader by default, it seems like it is Microsoft Reader. It could used to read PDF file. And I have not ever use powershell to manage to use it.
The PDF reader is a Modern UI app; we cannot run Modern UI apps on the desktop. So I don't think powershell could manage it.

Problems with opening Adobe Reader 9 or pdf files

Hi,
Can someone please help me resolve this problem? I had no problem using Adobe Reader 8 but since removing Adobe Reader 8 and download the updated Adobe Reader 9, I cannot open any pdf files or the Adobe Reader 9 (on desktop) without receiving the following error message:
"Adobe Reader 9.3 has encountered a problem and needs to close". I tried several times to download and reinstall Adobe Reader 9 without any success. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks.

Hi Michael,
Thanks for coming back to me. Remember when I've received the error message previously "Error 1327. Invalid Drive: E:\", I've decided to try inserting my flash drive into the E drive (since I've downloaded the Adobe file previously from my flash drive to my desktop pc) and then try removing the Adobe Reader 9.3.4 and it works!!!! I am now working with the earlier version ie. Adobe Reader 8 which works fine. I would like to try again to download the Adobe 9.3.4 but have previously tried 3 times and failed. What else can I try to do to download, install and run this latest version without experiencing the same problem over again? Thanks.

WHY WILL ADOBE READER NOT OPEN PDF FILES?

I have just downloaded free Adobe Reader X. When I try to open a pdf file I immediately get a Microsfoft box saying "Adobe Reader has encountered a problem and needs to close" I have Windows XP. Has anyone else experienced the problem and what did you do to fix the problem so pdf files open? Setting in control panel is for al pdf's to be opened by Adobe Reader, and when I downloade, I briefly disabled my anti-virus software. Really frustrating, Can any one help?

We saw the same symptoms as you describe.
It turned out that the new sandbox feature in Reader X is not compatible with Re-Directed "Application Data" folders.
Disabling the sandbox safety feature (via a special registry setting) appears to be a workaround, but somehow we now feel less safe.
Folder redirection involves group policy as used in large corporations with IT teams to manage large numbers of PCs in companies.
For example, in corporate environments, users My Documents and AppData folders are often re-directed at a secure server share, so that people's documents/photos/mp3s they save into my documents are secured on a server, instead of scattered about on various PCs. Home users never use this technology.
However, If you've got Adobe Reader X installed to a different DRIVE to the one where your APPDATA folder is, then you might get the same effect.
I guess this could also happen to peole with Windows installed on their D: drives, and Adobe installed on the C: drive, or similar.

Reader 9.3 PDF Files are flagged as "unknown file type" in Win XP

Installed Reader 9.3 replacing version 5.1 on my Win XP with SP 2. I have the Microsoft automatic update feature set "on" so I assume that overall my WIN XP is up to date. Having a problem downloading PDF files from trusted Internet sites. No longer getting seamless presentation of the data in the file. Instead, I get pop up security warnings which I have to click and then when I try to download the PDF it tells me that the file type is "unknown". Is this a v 9.3 problem or a WIX XP problem or both? Is there a solution?

Read BARCODE in PDF file

Hi! I've a requirement to read some barcodes inside PDF files. I actually can read from images, but can't find how to read them from a PDF. Someone has done this? Or maybe some suggestions to convert PDF to image, in that way I can read the code from the generated imaged?
Best regards!

I believe the iText library lets you read PDFs in Java. You can google it. Or for that matter, google java pdf library.
Once you know how to extract the barcode image from the PDF, it will be the same steps you use to read the image normally. If it's stored as something other than an image, that should be documented in the library's docs.
