The PDF contains embedded JavaScript, flagged by multiple heuristics and a machine learning classifier. ClamAV identifies the sample as 'Win.Trojan.Agent-36166', indicating it's a known trojan. The JavaScript is heavily obfuscated but appears to be designed to download and execute a secondary payload, a common technique for malware delivery.
