Hi:)

can windows built-in narrator read PDF opened in  acrobat reader or acrobat pro software?

to be more accurate  I need to know if it can read the tagging of the text , for accessibility testing....

FYI, Read Aloud does not properly read accessibility tags in a PDF. It is mainly for people with cognitive disabilities.

You can find additional options for Reading and Accessibility under the tabs with those titles in the Preferences dialog (Window: Edit - Preferences; Mac: Acrobat app menu - Preferences).

Windows Narrator does not understand the tags tree inside a PDF. It would not be a good tool for testing for accessibility. Neither would Adobe Read Aloud. These are considered Text-to-Speech tools and not WCAG conforming tools. Using NVDA or JAWS would be your best bet for testing for accessibility.
