Read Out Loud hasn't worked with some of my recent PDF purchases and updates, using Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 and Adobe Reader XI on Windows 7:
Technology Guide 1st printing: Body copy is tagged and reads fine. Document is fully tagged, watermarks are not read aloud.
Technology Guide 2nd printing: Body copy appears to be untagged; only the covers, images, page headers, and navigational sidebar have tags. Only the inside cover tables and the back cover copy are tagged and readable. All other pages read "Warning: Empty Page" or "Blank". Watermarks aren't read aloud.
Core Rulebook 5th and 6th printings, lite or full versions, single file: No tags. Reads the watermark aloud repeatedly, crashing Acrobat. None of the body text can be read aloud.
Monster Codex: Body copy is tagged and reads fine. Chapter title pages don't read at all ("Empty page" or "Blank"). Page headers and numbers are read aloud, but not the watermarks.
The Wounded Wisp: Scenario body copy is tagged and reads fine. The page headers are read aloud, but not the watermarks or page numbers. The first and third bestiary pages added after the scenario read fine, but the second page doesn't read at all.
Throughout, the use of dashes instead of minus signs results in negative numbers not being read aloud properly. The dash is skipped and only the number is read, so "–2 size" reads "two size" instead of "minus two size". A unicode minus sign (−) is visually and metrically similar in most fonts and would read aloud properly.
