    Hello!

     

    I am also using Adobe Acrobat DC on a MacBook (Paid license) and I am unable to get the "read aloud until the end of the document" feature to work. No matter what I select, Acrobat will only read to the bottom of the current page. Please advise, thank you!

      Me too. What's up with this?  I am NOT set to read to end of page, and the sparse documentation I can find does not match what I observe. Here's an example.

       

      I'm on the third page of a chapter. I click where I want it to start. With "read to end of document," it doesn't start there; it goes back to start of chapter and reads to end of that page. 

       

      Other times it will read only the line that I'm on.  Others, it will read the paragraph.  

       

      Please please, what's up with this?  I wanted to use this feature to read the book to me on a long drive but both the feature and the support here seem to be completely broken ... for years.  Help!

      Hi @e-Patient Dave, 

       

      Sorry for the delayed response and troubled experience. 

      Is it possible for you to record your screen with Audio while these issues are happening? If yes, please upload the recording to any cloud drive, and we will have the product team triage this issue. 

       

      Please share the version number of Acrobat or Reader installed on your machine: https://adobe.ly/3EpwuR8, and help us with the OS name and version number. 

       

      Thank you for the feedback and patience.

      Hi Marta,

       

      Hope you are doing well.

      As per the issue described above, I believe you are willing to read the entire document in one go. However, its reading only the first page.

      I would like you to check the "Read out loud" setting to make sure its set to read the end of the page.

      Open Acrobat>Read Out Loud>Activate Reader Out Loud (if its not)> Read To End of Document

       

      Hope this helps.

       

      Thanks,

      Akanchha

      I'm having the same issue, and I tried the solution you mentioned but it doesn't help. Any other advice? Also, the admin just updated my macbook pro with the sonoma 14 operating system. Could this have effected it? It was working fine before the update.
