Read out loud reading spaces as exclamation point

Report · Mar 04, 2019

I'm using Adobe Reader to read PDFs. Read out loud is functioning, but it just says "exclamation point" between every word on the document.

Any advice?

Thx Tim

Hello Tstrah,

We're sorry for the trouble you had with Adobe Reader and the Readout loud functionality.

Are you experiencing this issue with one specific PDF file or with all the PDF files? What is the version of Adobe Reader installed? To identify, refer to Identify the product and its version for Acrobat and Reader DC

Are you on a Mac or Windows machine and what is the version? Have you tried with any other PDF file? If not and see if you experience this same issue?

Try repairing Adobe Reader's installation files from Edit>Repair installation(assuming you are on Windows machine)>reboot the computer and check.

Make sure you have the latest version of Adobe Reader 19.010.20098 installed, check for any pending updates from help>check for updates, reboot the machine and check.

Let us know how it goes and share your observation.

Thanks,

Anand Sri.
