pdf reader, scriptable? If not now, then when?

Does anyone know if there are any plans to make the OSX Preview
application scriptable? Or for making Adobe Acrobat Reader scriptable.

My mom has low vision, and I just want her to--using her voice--be able
to open a pdf file, and say "select all" and "speak text" without using
the keyboard or the mouse.

So far as I can tell, since it's impossible to make an applescript for
Preview or Acrobat, it cannot be done.  Any ideas?

Thanks in advance,
-Josh
