Hi Jacob,
I don't think you're doing anything wrong. I find this incredibly
annoying, and just another reason that I prefer not to use Adobe
reader's text to speech to read documents. I read through several
options for setting up the accessibility features under Adobe Reader
9, and also ran the updater for the latest version. Not only can I
not set the speech rate to a higher value, I also can't seem to change
the voice now. Let us know if you make any progress with this.
Cheers,
Esther
P.S. I assume you're using Adobe reader because you have to -- that
the PDF files are protected or you need some feature that only works
under Adobe reader.

Hi Everyone
Does anyone know how to get Adobe reader to speak at a faster rate?
I've confirmed that my speech settings in system prefs are correct,
but no matter what I do in Adobe reader, even if I override the
system prefs defaults and set the speech rate to a higher value, it
doesn't seem to actually do anything. Pitch and volume work, but
rate just won't. Am I doing something wrong here?
