The
audio feature of Adobe Reader works for version 6 and later. If you have a
version earlier than 6, you will need to update your software before you can
use the audio feature. You can download a free update at AdobeReader. Adobe Reader will only read documents in PDF format, usually
created using Adobe Acrobat or Text converted to pdf. Adobe wont read pictures
