The PDF file contains a large number of external links, a common technique for SEO poisoning or driving traffic to malicious sites. The document body text, while partially corrupted, includes a lure related to 'Professor Messer security course notes' and points to the URL http://order.finalturnracing.com/uploads/1/3/0/7/130740118/130740118.html#professor+messer+security+course+notes. The heuristic PDF_SEO_LINK_FARM indicates a link farm, suggesting the primary purpose is to direct users to a network of related domains.
