MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.002 Spearphishing Attachment T1059.001 PowerShell

The PDF contains a large number of embedded links to external PDF files hosted on various domains, a technique commonly used for SEO poisoning or phishing. The heuristic 'PDF_SEO_LINK_FARM' and the ClamAV detection 'Pdf.Phishing.TtraffRobotInstall-7605656-0' strongly indicate a malicious intent to redirect users. No scripts were extracted from this sample, but the extensive link farm suggests a delivery mechanism for further malicious content.
