Make PDFs talk
Many magazines and book publishers make available a free online version of their products, often as PDF files. Chances are you scroll through multiple pages of PDFs every day. To reduce the number of miles you put on the mouse wheel, you can use free software to read out the documents to you.
Adobe Acrobat Reader has built-in accessibility support for reading out PDFs. The current version 7 can be installed under Linux.
Installing the RPM package should be as simple as rpm ivh AdobeReader_enu-7.0.8-1.i386.rpm. If you are on a non-RPM-based system, get the tarball, untar it, and run the included INSTALL script.
