After all this time, you may already have answers to your question,
but just in case you don't, here are some questions that I hope
contain an answer or two. Are you sure that it is a text based .pdf
file, or is it an image? If it is an image with little or no text to
be read, then Textaloud, like your screen reader cannot read directly
from the document. If it is text based, then I don't know what the
problem might be. Have you tried reading the file with your screen
reader first to make sure that it isn't actually a series of graphic
images with text written on them? If it is in deed an image, and not
a text based document, you might try running the document through an
OCR program like Openbook, or Kurzweil if you are fortunate to have
either one of these programs. After doing so, then convert the
resulting text document to something that Textaloud might recognize,
then try converting to .mp3.
I must admit, that as an only occasional Textaloud user, that I've
never attempted to have Textaloud render a .pdf file into audio, but
if it is designed to do so, then the suggestions I've given above
will work. Sure hope I'm not out of line here, and hope you've solved
your problem by now.

Hello friends!
I have textaloud here from nextup.com but i got it from givawayoftheday for
some months ago.
Today i was trying to creat an mp3 file out of a nokia manual.
Its in pdf format which textaloud is supposed to support.
But it crasches after 5 minutes or so and just leav a temp file on the hard
disk called temp.wav.
Actually can't say whats going on.
I haven't tried to read it as a text file to mp3.
Any thoughts on this?
Thanks in advance.
