When running Read PDF text activity, the output returns an error stating that i must update PDF reader, but all my pdf applications are up to date. I have tried changing accessibility settings, re-updating, re-installing the UIpath pdf module and rebooting the machine.

Fine @Lucas.Grim
Kindly check with the accessibility settings in pdf viewer once and check if its blocking any tool either secured or unsecured to access the file…if so kindly disable them and run once buddy
Hope that would work
Cheers @Lucas.Grim

Awesome, your comment made me wonder if it is due to the security settings on the file. The error seemed to be that the pdf was a Fillable form. When I converted it to a flat pdf, the error went away.

Thank you. @Palaniyappan
