The PDF file contains embedded JavaScript, indicated by multiple heuristic firings and the presence of an extracted JS file. ClamAV detections 'Pdf.Exploit.Agent-36365' and 'Pdf.Exploit.Agent-36364' strongly suggest this is a malicious PDF exploiting a vulnerability. The embedded JavaScript is the likely mechanism for delivering a secondary stage, such as a downloader or backdoor.
