# Import Modules
import os, pyttsx3, PyPDF2

# Get Current Directory
cwd = os.getcwd()

# Define Input and Output File Locations
input_file = 'pdf_Sample.pdf'

# Read the PDF File

# Initiate the Engine

# Loop through the PDF File
for page_num in range(len(pdfreader.pages)):

# Say the PDF File

# Output the PDF File to an Audio Formatted File

# Run the Engine
