Read Aloud for PDF files is greyed out

This week's new features include Read Aloud for PDF files. That option is greyed out when displaying a PDF file. However, it works fine for web pages.

Hi NicolSD, this is my fault, I jumped the gun on this announcement. We are making progress towards Read Aloud for PDF, but it is not ready yet. Sorry - Elliot

Hi, Elliot Kirk, i am glad to hear that this feature will be available. Is it possible to know how long you intend to have this option developed? Thank you for your attention and wish you success at work.

  jpbonner I too noticed this and would like it to be available as the new neural voices are amazing and really help me focus on what I am reading. The way I got around it right now is to upload the PDF to my onedrive and then just view it online. The read aloud works great, I just don't understand what makes it grayed out for local files.
