The PDF contains a large number of external links, many of which point to domains that appear to be part of a link farm. The document body, though heavily obfuscated, contains text suggesting it is an 'apartment lease contract pdf'. This indicates a social engineering lure to trick users into visiting potentially malicious websites. The ML classifier strongly supports the malicious verdict.
