"Is there any way to do it?"

Of course, in principal any data with a known specification can be parsed by MATLAB.

Is there an easy way of reading a PDF into MATLAB?

Not really, because PDF's are not sequentially organized text, although they might look like that when they are displayed or printed. This is also a topic that has been covered before on this forum, and a simple search will bring up these very informative discussions on the topic:
