MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.002 Spearphishing Attachment T1204.002 Malicious File

The PDF file contains a large number of external links to other PDF files, a technique often used for SEO poisoning or to redirect users to malicious content. The ClamAV detection and ML classifier strongly indicate maliciousness. The embedded URLs are likely part of a phishing or malware distribution scheme, disguised as a document related to share transfers.
