Problem with Adobe Acrobat Reader

In summary, Adobe Acrobat Reader has a feature that utilizes the narrator in Windows to read PDF files at a rate of 150+ words per minute, but the input box only allows a range of 150-650 words per minute. This makes it difficult to understand the documents at such a fast speed. However, this issue has been resolved with Windows 10.

I have just found something in adobe acrobat reader that i think is awesome. It utilises the narrator in windows to read pdf files. However when i use it it reads at a rate of 150+ words per minute! I tried to get it to read slower, but the input box puts up a message informing me that the value must be between 150 and 650 words per minute. Now I don't know about you, but I can't understand a damn word when it reads my documents at that speed. It was a good idea to put this feature in, but maybe they should have thought it through a little better, as noi-one will use this feature in its current state. (Unless of course its just my version of adobe acrobat reader that has this problem).
