The PDF contains a large number of embedded URLs pointing to other PDF files, a technique commonly used for SEO poisoning or to redirect users to malicious content. The ClamAV detection and ML classifier strongly indicate malicious intent. The document body, though heavily obfuscated, contains references to school uniforms and academy names, suggesting a lure to disguise the malicious nature of the links.
