    I'm having a similar problem. It is not reading text at all. I'm just getting "warning, empty page". The page is not empty.

    This is a community forum. There is no tech support from Adobe for free products.

    From what you say, this file has lots of underscores. For example, maybe someone drew a line across the top with 50 underscores. Unfortunately, that's what Reader will see.

    that is true.  but before I was able to select a paragraph and it would read it out properly. 

    now it wont do that at all

    the only way it will read it is if I do the whole page and it doesnt read it well when I do this as well.

    I dont get it.
