Hi all
Is there any way that when a PDF file opens it can be set to read back to you?
I know you can press ctrl+shift+v and that will read it back to you, but for some of our disabled users this is to much for them, and it would be far better is this would happen automatically.

I am using Adobe Acrobat 7.0 Pro version to create PDF files

any help appreciated

There is a way to do this from JavaScript. Actually a couple of ways.

1. menu items can be executed from JavaScript. Unfortunately, the menu item you need cannot automatically be used from a document script. You have to modify the registry on all the users system first. So it's not very practicle.

2. Add this script to the Page Open Action for every page you want read.

var len = this.getPageNumWords(this.pageNum);for(var i=0;i
