We demonstrate a new method of extracting parton distributions from lattice calculations, based on concepts of pseudo-PDFs and Ioffe-time distributions (ITD). Our lattice calculation shows a linear component in the exponential z_3-dependence in the rest-frame ITD expected from the Z(z_3) factor generated by the gauge link. We also observe that this factor disappears in the ratio of ITDs taken at different Ioffe times \nu=Pz_3. When plotted as a function of the Ioffe time and z_3, the data are very close to z_3-independent functions which allows us to extract PDFs. Our curve for u_v(x)-d_v(x) is rather close to experimental global fits. For small z_3, we observe perturbative DGLAP evolution of pseudo-PDFs, with \alpha_s/\pi =0.1.
