Why doesn't Adobe set the default initial view magnification setting to "fit page" so a viewer can see an entire document upon initial view? As a seasoned graphic designer, I believe it is much more courteous to allow the viewer to orient themselves to an entire document and then allow then to zoom in for more detail. It is disconcerting to see a partial document when opening a PDF file. Adobe is a leader in accessibility standards and I wondered if you had insight into this topic, I don't see a recommended initial view magnification in the WCAG 2.0 AA standard but I have found references that state that the "page fit" works better for some screen readers when they read a PDF. I'm seeking a "best practice" guideline. Please respond at your earliest convenience. Thank you.

I need the text to speech reading-out-loud feature; however, it's painful to use for my purposes.

I want to select a block of text or a region of a page, and have it read to me like my Mac does. I do not want it to arbitrarily start at the top of the document or even at the top of the current page. Often it trudges through character-by-character read-outs of long, arcane URLs, and other nonsense, cruft, and noise embedded in or sprinkled around the document.

Not only do I not have time for that, it's very painful to sit through waiting for it to get to the text-of-interest.

Please add the ability to read selected text when I hit a hotkey or invoke it from a menu.

Thank you.

Respectfully,

Mike Strong
