MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment T1059.007 JavaScript

The PDF file contains a large number of external links, many of which are likely part of a link farm designed to manipulate search engine results. The primary URL, 'https://resalured.ru/award?keyword=breakthrough+thinking+from+inside+the+box+pdf', suggests a lure to a topic that is likely a pretext for phishing or malware distribution. ClamAV detection as 'Pdf.Phishing.Trojan' further supports its malicious nature.
