ctrl + shift + v ---> To hear only the page

ctrl + shift + c ---> To resume

ctrl + shift + e ---> To stop

and How to get it worked in 8.0?

[shyamno]

Thanks for the information....its fabulous..

[Wannabe_a_techie]

Yeah thanks Crystal_pup that was very useful!

[blackpearl]

You need to have the voice plugin installed for this to work, if I'm not wrong.

[amitava82]

ya voice plugin has to be installed. and this is not a trick its a shortcut. the option is located under VIEW > Read Out Loud

[aryayush]

Have it by default. Don't even need Adobe Reader.

Thanks anyway! :)

He wanted to know whether there was a way to do it in XP without Adobe Reader, i.e. by default.

The short answer is no, not even on Vista.

I dunno, but IrfanView might have the feature too.

[gx_saurav]

Yup, Windows doesn't have this feature, even Vista to read a pdf file without Adobe Reader, cos Adobe did not allowed MS to do so.

Anyway, to read PDF in Windows we use PDF readers which can do much more then preview
__________
woops, i forgot the Windows inbuilt text to speech engine. So, well it's also available in Windows from Win 2k

[rollcage]

Actually .. Acrobat uses the TTS Tool of windows or OS-X,
i.e The text-to-speech engine should be part of the default installation of Windows 2000, XP and the Macintosh OS
