T1059.007 JavaScript T1203 Exploitation for Client Execution T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment

The PDF file contains embedded JavaScript that is designed to decode and execute a payload. The JavaScript function `dskp` reconstructs a string from hexadecimal-encoded values separated by '%'. This decoded string is then passed to the `eval` function, indicating it's intended to run arbitrary code. The ClamAV detection name 'Pdf.Exploit.Agent-36177' further confirms the malicious nature of the file.
