MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment T1204.002 Malicious Link

This PDF file was flagged by multiple heuristics, including ClamAV and an ML classifier, as malicious. It contains a large number of embedded URLs forming a link farm, with the primary domain being rmckendreeb.com. The document body, though partially corrupted, references 'Area and perimeter of triangles worksheet', suggesting a lure to disguise the malicious link distribution. The primary intent appears to be directing users to a network of external PDF files.
