The option to have a PDF file read aloud offers numerous advantages. It’s also an
easy feature to master.
Perhaps you need your documents read aloud to you because reading print
text is too difficult. Or maybe you’ve just downloaded a PDF file of a book to
listen to, but you really want to savor the story and language slowly. Adobe
Reader enables you to have your files read aloud and even customize the
experience by setting the narrator’s voice and choosing the pace of the
reading to best suit your needs.
Simply follow these steps to have Acrobat Reader read PDF aloud:
1. Open Reader and navigate to the document page you want to have read
aloud.
2. From the top-left menu, click View, then Read Out Loud.
3. You can choose to have the whole document read aloud or just the
page you’re on.
4. Select either Read to End of Document or Read This Page Only,
respectively.
The reading will start at the page you’re currently on, even if you select Read
to End of Document. To start at the beginning, navigate to the first page.
At any point, you can also choose from several options to customize the
experience of having your PDFs read out loud:
Now you can have your PDF read aloud with your unique preference
selections.
To make sure that a PDF is accessible to someone with vision loss, ensure that
the text is not in an image but is recognized as text by Acrobat Reader. You
can also tag headings, tables, and lists to increase accessibility.
