Barry, You could do this with the last few versions of Kurzweil 1000. It should allow you to open a PDF and then in a separate process you can output it as an audio file. I think it's limited to using the voices from the speech engines that ship with Kurzweil. I'm not familiar with OpenBook but I would be surprised if the release which is coming soon wouldn't allow this as well; maybe previous versions will do it too.

It would be nice to be able to select the voice it uses.
