From the Adobe Accessibility blog:
http://blogs.adobe.com/accessibility/2015/03/acrobat-dc-accessibility-update.html
They say the "upcoming release" not that it is actually released yet.
Also they say this is the release of "Adobe Reader DC" where DC stands
for Document Cloud. No idea what that is but it sounds like something
I'll need an account and/or subscription to make use of. Their link to
the announcement is broken but I was able to find this:
http://blogs.adobe.com/adobereader/2015/03/introducing-adobe-document-cloud.html
which eventually has links to
http://landing.adobe.com/en/na/products/document-cloud/announce.html
which is probably where the first link was supposed to go. At the very
end it talks about "How to buy Document Cloud and Acrobat DC" but it
doesn't clarify what might be needed just to use Adobe Reader DC. This
press release dated March 17
http://www.adobe.com/news-room/pressreleases/201503/031715AdobeIntroducesDocumentCloud.html
says Adobe Document Cloud and Acrobat DC are expected to be available
within 30 days so that means mid-April. Subscriptions to DC are $14.99 a
month but still nothing about costs to just open a PDF with Adobe Reader DC.

Absolutely no confusion on my part. If you check the earlier thread you will
see Jonathan said Adobe had announced that they released a VO Accessible
version of Adobe Reader for the Mac on Twitter yesterday.

Hi,
I’m guessing that you were either confused between the iOS version and the Mac
version, or someone believes that using Adobe Reader’s “Read Out Loud” feature
constitutes being accessible. Supposedly, the iOS version of Adobe Reader has
VO support, although I can’t confirm at this point.
Later...

OK I checked for updates and it told me I had the latest version so the
accessible VO version is hopefully yet to come.

11.0.10 was released December 2014 so I suspect that is not the fixed version.

Well I have just downloaded and installed version 11.0.10 from Adobe and
nothing appears to have changed.
None of the text area of the two PDF documents I loaded were available to
Voiceover.
I went through the Accessibility Setup wizard and specified that I was using a
screen reader but this again provided no useful result.
The only text area of thethat I was able to interact and read was the filename
title of the PDF document.
It is possible I have missed something but I went through all the preferences.

another way is to copy all text in the document with command A, then open the
preview menu, enter the services submenu and press enter on “new textedit
window with selection”.
It does exactly what it sounds like.
First make sure you’ve interacted with the pdf text area and can read the text
with the VO commands just to make sure you’re in the right place and can
select all.

Hello,
I don’t know if there’s a better way. But I highlight the text cmd+a then copy
cmd+c then open text edit and paste cmd+v into a new document. Not nice but it
works for me.

I can do it with preview if I interact with the image group. I’d like to know
how to save a pdf as text.
