* A bizarre feature in Acrobat Reader

May 27, 2008

I came upon this completely by accident.

When you open a document in Adobe Acrobat Reader (I use version 8.1.2 and don’t know if this feature appears in earlier versions) and click on “View,” the damn program reads the document to you! It’s not foolproof, doesn’t work with every document — it seems to be best suited to straightforward text — and sounds very computerish-creepy, but it’s there for you.
