You need the tax file in order to transfer 2023 in to a new 2024 return. A pdf of the return from the CPA will not have much--if anything-- that helps you. A pdf only transfers a little personal information like your name and address, SSN, etc. None of your 2023 tax information will transfer from a pdf.
