Recording text books using Alex

[Orin]

Hi all,

Is there a way that I could record PDF documents with Alex? I just  
downloaded a PDF file and can successfully read it in preview, but I'd  
honestly rather have it in mp3 format. Also, it'd be nice if I can  
only have the copyright information at the beginning and end, whenever  
I go to a new page in preview it gives me the copyright info on every  
page, kind of annoying.

What's wierd with VoiceOver, is that Alex, even when there isn't a  
comma, pauses as if there was one. With the system voice, it doesn't  
do this, so I would like it to be recorded with the system voice. I  
would also like to raise the speed a bit, the default is extremely slow.

Thanks.
