The PDF file contains embedded JavaScript, flagged by multiple heuristics including ML classification and ClamAV detection for obfuscated objects. The JavaScript appears to be heavily obfuscated, making it difficult to determine its exact function, but it is likely designed to download and execute a secondary payload. The presence of JavaScript actions and embedded JS streams strongly suggests a malicious intent.
