[Bug 741203] Re: Read Out Loud does not work

 

Brian Thomason, Read Out Loud worked following your instructions.

No helpful information regarding this functionality in Ubuntu was found
on the Adobe Reader Read Out Loud website:

http://help.adobe.com/en_US/Acrobat/9.0/Standard
/WS58a04a822e3e50102bd615109794195ff-7d15.w.html

It would be helpful for other Ubuntu users who are interested in
utilizing the Read Out Loud functionality to be instructed on this via:

https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AcrobatHowTo

Something like:

Read Out Loud

Adobe Reader has the ability to read text from PDF files out loud to the
user. To enable Read Out Loud in Ubuntu please install the libgnome-
speech7 package then run at the Terminal:

sudo /var/lib/dpkg/info/acroread.postinst configure

Open the desired PDF file and click View -> Read Out Loud -> Activate
Read Out loud -> View -> Read Out Loud

and then choose either Read This Page Only or Read to End of Document.

Read Out Loud preferences are found by clicking Edit -> Preferences ->
Reading
