Hey peeps now u can listen to wats there in a pdf document instead of reading the whole document....

Try out the following key combinations for Acrobat 6.0 & 7.0:-

ctrl+ shift + b ---> To hear the whole document

ctrl + shift + v ---> To hear only the page

ctrl + shift + c ---> To resume

ctrl + shift + e ---> To stop

Cheers,
Kunal :p

You need to have the voice plugin installed for this to work, if I'm not wrong.

Leave it, yaar. Shouldn't have opened my big fat mouth. I don't want to get involved in another Mac vs. PC war.

Anyway, here's a screenshot that might help you understand. :)

Start Adobe Reader 8, go to View -> Read out load. Done

Here is the screenshot for those who better see.

He wanted to know whether there was a way to do it in XP without Adobe Reader, i.e. by default.

The short answer is no, not even on Vista.

I dunno, but IrfanView might have the feature too.

Yup, Windows doesn't have this feature, even Vista to read a pdf file without Adobe Reader, cos Adobe did not allowed MS to do so.

Anyway, to read PDF in Windows we use PDF readers which can do much more then preview

woops, i forgot the Windows inbuilt text to speech engine. So, well it's also available in Windows from Win 2k

Actually .. Acrobat uses the TTS Tool of windows or OS-X,
i.e The text-to-speech engine should be part of the default installation of Windows 2000, XP and the Macintosh OS
