The PDF contains a large number of external links, identified by the PDF_SEO_LINK_FARM heuristic. The document body, though heavily obfuscated, contains references to URLs that are also present in the heuristics. This suggests the primary purpose is to redirect users to a network of potentially malicious websites, likely for SEO spam or to host further malicious content.
