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

The PDF document contains a large number of external links, a common technique for SEO poisoning or redirecting users to malicious sites. The document body text, though obfuscated, contains references to video game cheats and the PDF's creation tool, suggesting a lure to attract clicks. The primary IOC is the first external URI found, which points to a page related to video game cheats.

Heuristics 3
