Define your end goal in terms of the word "parse."
If the PDF is just text, then you can copy/paste that into a new Pages document. Likewise, individual images can be selected, copied and pasted into Pages at their original resolution.
A PDF document is not organized like a Word processing document and you will need a PDF Editor to export it to Word .docx, which you can then open in Pages. PDF Editors are not included with macOS, nor are they free, and a good example would be PDFpen 11 or PDFpenPro 11 in the Mac App Store. The free trial versions found on that vendor's website do not unlock the ability to export the PDF to Word though.
In either case, if the PDF has restrictions on copying content, then neither preceding paragraph will work.
Stay away from the magic PDF to Pages converters that are all over the Internet as you will spend days trying to clean up the grotesque formatting that results.
