Testing with other PDF files in the Books app can help determine if the issue is specific to that particular document or if it's a broader problem affecting all PDFs. Here's how you can try that:
- Open the Books app on your iPhone.
- Import or open different PDF files (preferably ones you haven't used before for reading aloud).
- Attempt to use the "Speak" function with these new PDF files to see if the issue persists.
If the other PDF files are also experiencing the same problem (only reading a few words or lines before stopping), it might indicate a broader issue with the reading function on your iPhone. However, if the new files are read aloud without interruption, it's likely that the previous PDF file causing the trouble is corrupted or has some specific formatting issue affecting the reading function.
If the problem appears to be isolated to a specific PDF file, you could try:
- Re-downloading the PDF file and testing it again.
- Opening the PDF file on a computer to check if it reads properly using software like Adobe Acrobat Reader.
- Attempting to convert the problematic PDF to a different format (if feasible) and testing its readability on your iPhone.
This approach will help narrow down whether the issue lies with the iPhone's reading function or if it's related to the specific PDF file causing the trouble.
