What version of Mac OS X are you running? As Esther mentioned in her post, some aspects depend on what operating system you are using. I've never had that before, but are you going to a different application when you stop speech. This would make VO read from a different position - usually the beginning. VO does not seem to have the ability to retain its place in a PDF yet if you move to a different application.
