Listening to PDF files
Did you know that Adobe Reader and Adobe Pro have a feature that allows them to read PDFs out loud? To activate this feature, go to the View menu while a PDF is open in Adobe and select "Read Out Loud." Once activated, you can choose to have Adobe read a single page or the entire document.
There are some keyboard shortcuts that help Adobe users access this feature,
- Shift+Ctrl+Y Activates "Read Out Loud"'
- Shift+Ctrl+V Reads a single page
- Shift+Ctrl+B Reads to the end of the document
- Shift+Ctrl+C Pauses the reading
- Shift+Ctrl+E Stops the reading
