MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment

The PDF contains a large number of embedded links to other PDF files, disguised as an English exercise. This technique is commonly used to distribute malware or phish for credentials by overwhelming the user with links. The ClamAV detection and ML classifier strongly indicate malicious intent, likely related to phishing or malware distribution via a link farm.
