What kind of information were you hoping to extract from the PDF ?

You can't. Well you might be able to load it as an image, bitmap it, and then save it as a .mat file. Dare I ask what you are trying to do?

Maybe they want to extract the text. Maybe the PDF happens to contain an image of a graph and they want to import the graph and analyze it to figure out the data points ?

Text Analytics Toolbox can do some of that. I do not know how reliable it is, or whether (for example) it can handle tables or separate columns of text.
