MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment T1204.002 Malicious Link

The PDF contains a large number of embedded links to external PDF files, a technique often used for SEO manipulation or to distribute further malicious content. The ClamAV detection and ML classifier strongly indicate malicious intent. The document body mentions 'Cambridge guided busway route map' but also contains obfuscated text and URLs, suggesting a lure to disguise the malicious link farm.
