Yes, there is. There is a command called 'midi2ly' that converts a
MIDI file to a Lilypond file. YOu can then use Lilypond to convert
this to PDF. See
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.11/Documentation/user/lilypond-program/Invoking-midi2ly
for more details.

Note that the results of an automatic conversion can vary wildly...

HTH!
