Is this what you mean ?  
open your PDF in a PDF viewer or editor, make a screenshot, paste it into Joplin ?

Or do you have something in mind where "each page"of your PDF gets imported ? In this case I am afraid the answer is no.

Right now I am screenshooting every page.

I wish to automate this process. It is called pdf printout attachment in onenote. Every page of pdf is converted to image and attached to note.

And I suppose there is a reason WHY each page has to be transformed into an image ?

The source pdf itself is image (Autodesk sketchbook export). Nothing in the pdf can be selected or edited.
