Looping through PDF files and Read Text and create worksheet write contects read next file and past into next worksheet

I have a bunch of contracts that I need to open up individually.  I would like to extract the text and move the text to a new excel worksheet.  As each file gets read it will be generating a new worksheet with the name of the file that was read.  I have no idea what I am doing but hopefully with baby steps I will be able to crawl soon.

 

With this build below it allows me to do it one file at a time.  I want to read the whole folder and loop through the file.
