PDF to Read Aloud - not picking up all text

    Hi there,

    Relatively new to Pubcoder. I am trying to import a PDF and enable the read aloud function with a provided audio track. In my original PDF, I am able to select all of the text (in other words, it's not baked into an image). When I import this PDF into pubcoder and select the read aloud feature, it does not recognize all of the text. Instead, it skips around the text... a few words here, a few words there.

    Any suggestions on how to get pubcoder to recognize all of the text in my imported PDF?

    Thanks in advance!

    For reference, I attached an image of a portion of my PDF along with a screenshot of what PubCoder is picking up

    Hello Stephen,
    When pubcoder imports a pdf it imports it as images, as stated here https://docs.pubcoder.com/pubcoder_pdf.html#import-a-pdf-file , so it is not possible to add read aloud.
    The text you see is there only to allow text search in the file
