I’m not sure what exactly you want to display, so it is difficult to provide a specific answer. Shortcodes are how the plugin adds its content to pages, so that is how you will need to go unless you have developer skills and can write your own code to do what you want.
The plugin’s use of shortcodes is extremely flexible, so a properly configured shortcode probably is your solution.
If you want to display the value of a field, there is a shortcode for that, the [pdb_single] shortcode has a template you can use…explained here: Single-Value Templates. The problem you will face is that when you want to display a value from a specific record, you will need to tell the shortcode which record that is. Normally, the [pdb_single] shortcode gets the ID of the record from the URL.
If you want to elaborate on exactly what you have in mind I may be able to help you with that.
