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

The PDF contains a large number of external links, many of which point to other PDF files hosted on similar domains. This behavior is indicative of a link farm or a mechanism to distribute malicious content through seemingly innocuous PDF documents. The document body text, though corrupted, contains phrases related to 'work experience certificate format free', suggesting a lure to entice users to click the embedded links.
