The sample is a PDF document identified as malicious by ClamAV with the signature Js.Exploit.HTML-30. It contains an embedded URL and utilizes XFA forms, which are often leveraged to embed and execute malicious JavaScript. The embedded JavaScript is likely responsible for exploiting a vulnerability within the PDF viewer to download and execute a secondary payload.
