Hi friends........

I am a regular reader of Linux Documentations.....

Thus I read large number of PDF dossiers(files) every now then......

well ya.. adobe acrobat 7 (atleast in windows) does that job.. go to a option called "Read out loud" and acrobat will start speaking the words..

u can also choose between male and female voices :)
