I recently subscribed to a commercial newsletter that is published using PDF and I need to use a screen reader (Natural Reader Pro) or the Adobe Read out loud Feature to read the online version of the newsletter because of visual impairment.

When I select View>Read Out Loud, the options (This Page Only, etc) are grayed-out) so I am unable to use that feature. When I Look at Document>Security>Security>Show Security Settings, I see that "Content for Accessibility" is "Not Allowed"

That makes me think that There is no way that a screen reader can read the document, yet when I spoke with the company they told me that they have many customers who use screen readers and they say that I need to talk to a software consultant to figure out where I'm going wrong.

I'm able to use my screen reader for other PDF documents, but I think that their security settings are preventing me from reading the newsletter.

I apologize for the long post. I hope someone out there can help me solve this problem.
