Listen to PDF file instead of reading

Today more louder talk on Audio Books, Podcast etc in Information community, because today’s information user is more watcher and listener than the conventional reader. That’s also true nobody has time to Read.

I am not interested to say anything on Audio Books and Podcasts, I want share an old feature, which was NOT talked & discussed (as far I know), of Adobe PDF Reader. Some of you are already aware about you, May be a just repetition for you people:

You can listen to any PDF instead of reading with Adobe Reader 7.0 or 6.0, and the short cut is:

Ctrl+shift+b – to hear the entire Document

Ctrl+shift+v – to hear the page

Ctrl+shift+c – to resume

Ctrl+shift+e – to stop

 Open any PDF File and test….

Now even eBooks can be listened too by creating them in Adobe Reader 7.0

1. Hello TTS(Text-to-Speech technology): Listen to your PDF
2. Listen to Your PDFs (Adobe – Design Center)
