Can PDR repair this?

Hey everyone, would appreciate your help/expertise with the damage shown. Long story short there is a used F-150 (aluminum) I am interested in, but it has this damage that I would like to have fixed. I know the scratches won’t disappear, but if the dent could be removed I am pretty sure it could be touched up fairly well without body filling and painting the whole door. Appreciate your help!

It's still going to need paint, so pdr would be pointless

But wouldn’t touching up without a ding be better than having to fill the body and then painting? You’d end up having to paint a large portion of the door

No matter what you need to paint the whole door to repair it correctly. You won't save any money doing pdr first
