The PDF contains a large number of embedded links to external PDF files, a technique often used for SEO spam or to distribute further malicious content. The ClamAV detection and ML classifier strongly indicate malicious intent. The embedded URLs are likely part of a link farm designed to direct users to potentially harmful sites or download further payloads.
