What does that mean?
Do you mean "get name from resource"? What resource?
>How to read from PDF.
How is that related?

please tell me how to read from pdf document in LabVIEW.
Read it? Read text from it? Read an image from it? Parse all of it? Show it? Edit it?
These are all very different problems. They require very different solutions...
Search LabVIEW like a graph!

I think "resume" here means "a document listing your training and accomplishments", what Academics call a "Curriculum Vitae".

A, now it makes sense...
I didn't make the link at all. (I'd expect two é's, like the French word it was stolen from: résumé. But resume seems to be accepted as an English word.)
I'd stay away from parsing PDFs in LV (although I have somewhat working solutions).
I'd look into Xpdf and XpdfReader... That should work from the command line, which works OK in LV.
There are probably .NET solutions, like PDFSharp, that can do this.
I guess reading the pdf is the "easy" part. I would think the hard part would be to decide what is the "name".

Both could be easy, or near impossbile.
If you want to read text from any PDF, it would be impossible. Fonts, encoding, ordering doesn't need to be standard. If it's not standard, a PDF will be very hard parse.
Same for the name. If all résumés use the same formatting, it's no problem. If you want to process any résumé, it will be near impossible.

Text from some PDFs. Probably most PDFs, honestly. Definitely not all PDFs.
