The PDF contains a large number of external links, identified by the PDF_SEO_LINK_FARM heuristic, pointing to other PDF files on various domains. This is a common technique for distributing phishing content or redirecting users to malicious sites. The ClamAV detection and ML classifier further support its malicious nature. The embedded URL action in the PDF object also explicitly lists one of these domains.
