<p class="MsoNormal">ZoomText is primarily a magnification program but it does have some screen reading capabilities built in. If the screen reading feature is not reading the PDF, it is most likely because it is a scanned PDF document and does not have actual
text to read. The solution will be to run the PDF through an OCR (optical character recognition) program such as ABBYY Fine Reader to generate actual text. Adobe Acrobat does have OCR capability, but it is not very good. I would not recommend depending on
it.<o:p></o:p></p>
