To extract text from pdf, you can refer to following codes which is based on a .NET pdf library: PdfDocument document = new PdfDocument(); document.LoadFromFile(@"E:\sample.pdf"); StringBuilder content = new StringBuilder(); foreach (PdfPageBase page in document.Pages) { content.Append(page.ExtractText()); } String fileName = "TextFromPDF.txt"; File.WriteAllText(fileName, content.ToString()); If your pdf file is less than 10 pages, you can use it's free version: http://www.e-iceblue.com/Download/download-pdf-for-net-free.html

Dear Yogesh, Text to speech requires text on output. PDF is not text. As soon as you extract text from some PDF document, you can feed it to text-to-speech. So first step is reading pdf file in text http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/12445/Converting-PDF-to-Text-in-C Than second step is use text-to-speech in .NET http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.speech.synthesis%28v=vs.110%29.aspx Thanks, Shakti
