How do I enable text-to-speech on my own PDFs?
I have created PDFs using deskPDF as a PDF printer. I have loaded these to my Kindle, but can't enable text-to-speeech. Can anyone help?

Easy. Don't create PDF. Create Mobipocket files and then you can use the TTS.

Welcome to mobileread ....

I don't have a kindle so can't help - but the suggestion from Jon is likely correct (he's an expert in these things )

Thanks, Jon. I moved from creating Mobipocket files to straight PDFs because Kindle3 would only recognise music fonts on such PDFs, but I will now go back and try the converted PDFs to prc on my text files.
