PDF is in an end-file format, not a word processing document, and there is no PDF to Pages converter that actually generates a result that won't cost you many hours in fixing the significant document formatting problems. Automator has a PDF to RTF extractor, but say goodbye to any original PDF formatting.
If you have access to MS Word v16.31 or later on Mac, it can open a PDF and convert it to Word .docx format, and then open that Word document in Pages. I haven't done this, so it too may be an abomination.
Adobe has a paid service available from within their free Acrobat Reader DC application that can convert PDF to Word documents. Since they invented the PDF spec, likely the best conversion to Word would come from them.
