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

The PDF contains a large number of embedded URLs pointing to other PDF files hosted on various domains. This behavior is indicative of a link farm or a distribution mechanism for further malicious content, as suggested by the 'PDF_SEO_LINK_FARM' and 'CLAMAV_DETECTION' heuristics. The ML classifier also strongly indicated maliciousness. The document body itself appears to be corrupted or contains unrelated text, but the primary malicious activity is the extensive linking.
