IMHO, we haven't direct ways to do it !
Some years ago i try:
1. Open PDF-document via InkScape application (https://inkscape.org/).
2. Save content in SVG (https://www.w3.org/Graphics/SVG/) format.
3. Open SVG-file with Visio, copy content from here.
4. Paste content to target visio document.

But, first step can work only with PDF which convert from native office or CAD applications.
Not for scan !

Thank you for your experience !
Actually now i change to create image database then import image.
It takes time but more simple than import directly from PDF.
