The PDF file contains embedded JavaScript, indicated by multiple heuristic firings and the presence of an extracted JS file. ClamAV detections 'Pdf.Exploit.Agent-36365' and 'Pdf.Exploit.Agent-36364' strongly suggest this is a malicious PDF exploiting a vulnerability. The embedded JavaScript is likely responsible for downloading and executing a secondary payload, a common technique for PDF-based malware.
