[Tommy Trussell <tommy.trussell@xxxxxxxxx>]

I discovered this bug via a forum posting, and confirmed that manually
installing libgnome-speech7 and configuring acroread worked. SO I
thought maybe libgnome-speech7 had not been suggested when I installed
the package. HOWEVER when I looked in Software Center just now,
libgnome-speech7 IS suggested as an optional install (though I had not
noticed it before). Presumably ticking the checkbox SHOULD also trigger
the acroread.postinst configure script (but I haven't tested it on a
clean install to be sure).

SO I would suggest one of us could test the installation on a new
install and tick the libgnome-speech7 checkbox to be sure it works.

If it does, one of us can edit
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AcrobatHowTo page (and other places,
such as the package description) to say:

"Adobe Reader can optionally read aloud from PDF files. The Read Out
Loud feature requires libgnome-speech7, which is a suggested option when
you install the Adobe Reader (acroread) package using Software Centre
(or another package manager)."

If it turns out it does NOT work from a clean install, then possibly the
acroread package needs to be updated to make sure the acroread.postinst
script gets called by the package manager at the appropriate time.
