MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.001 PowerShell T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment T1027 Obfuscated Files or Information

The PDF file exhibits characteristics of malicious intent, including obfuscated content and an embedded file, as flagged by ClamAV. The presence of an embedded file suggests the document is a container for delivering additional malicious payloads. The document body itself is heavily obfuscated and unreadable, further supporting the malicious nature.
