use itextsharp to grab the text out of the PDF then use your current code in which you say you've got written to convert the text to speech.

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.

Please see the comments to the question.

Reading PDF is covered in this short CodeProject article: Converting PDF to Text in C#[^].

And here is how to use text-to-speech in .NET: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.speech.synthesis%28v=vs.110%29.aspx[^].

That's all.
