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

The PDF file contains a large number of embedded links to external PDF files, a technique often used for SEO spam or to redirect users to phishing or malware sites. The ClamAV detection 'Pdf.Phishing.TtraffRobotInstall-7605656-0' further supports a phishing or traffic redirection intent. The embedded URLs are likely part of this redirection scheme.
