I assume you mean can a programmer write an app in Livecode to extract test scores from a PDF and do something with them.
If the PDF has the test scores as text in the PDF (vs just a scanned image), then, yes, you can make a Livecode app that uses the PDF widget to open the PDF and retrieve the text from it and then parse that text for the test scores. If there is a routine pattern to the how the test scores appear, it will be easier to parse the text.
